Rohini Court Lawyers Strike Over Alleged Advocate Assault
Lawyers at Rohini Court plan not to work in court on Monday.
They are protesting an alleged assault on a lawyer named Kamaldeep at a police station.
The lawyers say police leaders had promised to take action against the officers involved.

The Bar Association says it was not told about this case.
It also says police officers will not be allowed into the court building that day.
