The vehicle of the judge was also stopped for about 30 minutes. The judge had said this happened despite his assistant informing the police authorities concerned, in advance.

Accordingly the decision not to hold up the traffic was taken and the same was conveyed to the judge today. PTI CORR SA BN BN
