No Relief In Property Case, Man Pulls Out Paper Cutter In High Court, And...

As the judge pronounced the order, the man went up to him, pulled out a paper cutter knife from his trouser pocket, and tried to slit his own wrist, eye witnesses said.

A 55-year-old man tried to kill himself inside a courtroom at the Bombay High Court on Friday after a judge rejected his plea in a property dispute.

He was, however, stopped in time by the lawyers present in the court.

The incident took place around 1 pm in the courtroom of Justice P D Naik.

The judge ordered the man, who was locked in a property dispute with his mother, to vacate his premise under the Senior Citizens Act.
