No formal inquiry has been initiated so far, but officials said they are trying to ascertain whether someone associated with the High Court is responsible for the act.
President of the Jharkhand High Court Advocates’ Association, Ritu Kumar, confirmed the incident. “Yes, it happened within the High Court premises. However, the matter falls under the jurisdiction of the High Court administration, not the Lawyers’ Association,” she said.
