New Delhi, June 5 (Reporter) The Supreme Court on Thursday heard a plea filed by a woman advocate who has alleged that she was sexually assaulted, beaten, and illegally detained by officials of Sector-50 police station in Gurugram while she was accompanying a client in connection with a matrimonial case. A bench of justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and AG Masih directed the counsel appearing for the petitioner to produce a copy of the FIR lodged against her by the Gurugram police. When informed that the FIR had not been supplied despite request, the court suggested that an appropriate application could be made before the chief judicial magistrate concerned. Justice Masih questioned, “Is a lawyer required to get that (a direction from court)? The Bar is not with you?” To this, the counsel responded that the bar is supporting the petitioner and assured that the required application would be filed before the CJM the same day. The court listed the matter for further hearing on Monday. During the proceedings, multiple lawyers appeared in support of the petitioner. Noting this, Justice Mishra in a light-hearted remark asked, “Which CJM will refuse when a battery of lawyers appears?” The petitioner, a practising advocate and an executive member of the Tis Hazari Bar Association, has sought the transfer of all cases registered by and against her involving Gurugram police officials to either the Delhi Police or an independent agency like the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). She also prayed for disciplinary action against the police officers concerned. According to the petition, the incident occurred on May 21, 2025, when the petitioner visited Sector-50 Police Station, Gurugram, with her client, who intended to file a complaint against his wife. The petitioner claims that police officials obstructed the filing of the complaint and assaulted her. She alleges that two male officers sexually assaulted her, she was beaten by female officers, and was forcibly detained without any legal procedure being followed. She further stated that she was taken to a hospital in Gurugram but brought back without the preparation of a Medico-Legal Certificate (MLC). On the following day, the petitioner submitted a written complaint at the Tis Hazari police post in Delhi. Subsequently, FIRs were registered by her at Subzi Mandi Police Station in Delhi and at the Women Police Station in Gurugram under various provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). An FIR was also registered against her by Gurugram police under Sections 121(1), 132, 221, and 351(3) of the BNS. Fearing further harassment, false prosecution, and physical harm, the petitioner approached the Supreme Court seeking the transfer and clubbing of the three FIRs and a direction for police protection. In her plea, the petitioner has raised concerns over abuse of state power, gender-based targeting, professional persecution, and violation of procedural safeguards. She submitted that no arrest memo was prepared, and no intimation was given to her family or colleagues during her detention in violation of the guidelines laid down in DK Basu v. State of West Bengal, Arnesh Kumar v. State of Bihar, and Satendra Kumar Antil v. CBI. The petitioner has alleged a violation of her fundamental rights under Articles 14, 19(1)(g), 21, and 22 of the Constitution...////...
