Raj HC issues contempt notice to Bainsla

The court also sought an explanation from the Chief Secretary, Home Secretary and Director General of Police as to what action was taken to prevent the breakdown of law and order in the wake of the Gujjar agitation for Schedule Tribe quota.

The High Court in its September order had restrained Gujjar leaders from taking law into their own hands and directed them to stage protests within the ambit and permissible scope of law.

The court had also directed them not to hold any rally or meeting in support of the agitation in Jaipur or any other place without getting permission from the prescribed authority.

Earlier, on January 18 this year, Justice M N Bhandari had issued contempt notices to Bainsla and some Gujjar MLAs for raising inflammatory statements and disrupting law and order by giving call for a bandh on January 21.
