Meanwhile, North Delhi lawyers Association General Secretary Advocate Vineet Jindal termed the incident as 'really unfortunate' and demanded strict legal action against the security personnel.
"It is really unfortunate that a security officer at District Court Rohini premises opened fire on an advocate from his gun. The security officers are here to safeguard court premises and the stakeholders, not to harm them," he told IANS.
The work has stopped at the Rohini Court and the lawyers are planning to go on a strike.
