July 14th, 2009 - 9:04 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, July 14 (IANS) A city court Tuesday granted bail to three lawyers accused of manhandling a district judge in the capital following a verbal argument during hearing of a case last week.
Metropolitan Magistrate Vishal Singh granted bail to Rishipal, Suresh Tomar and Radhey Shyam Tiwari, who were arrested earlier in the day.
Additional District Judge Pankaj Gupta was allegedly assaulted by a group of lawyers July 8 at Rohini District Court when he was making an inquiry regarding a “fictitious petition”.

The Delhi High Court later issued contempt notices against the accused lawyers.
Eight lawyers were arrested in the case and all of them have now been released on bail.
On Tuesday, the metropolitan magistrate granted bail to the three accused on bonds of Rs.10,000 each along with surety of a similar amount.
