Posters bearing the Pakistan national flag and a photograph of the country’s Army chief were found placed on the floor inside and outside the premises of the Jharkhand High Court, including inside a washroom.
Manoj Prasad, the Registrar General of Jharkhand High Court, said he was unaware of the development. “I don’t have information at present. I will look into it as soon as possible,” he said.
According to sources, during lunchtime, an individual or individuals who are yet to be identified allegedly stuck the posters at several locations on the court premises, including the entrance, halls 1 and 2, and a washroom.
The development comes days after the Pahalgam terror attack and worsening diplomatic ties between India and Pakistan.
No formal inquiry has been initiated so far, but officials said they are trying to ascertain whether someone associated with the High Court is responsible for the act.
President of the Jharkhand High Court Advocates’ Association, Ritu Kumar, confirmed the incident. “Yes, it happened within the High Court premises. However, the matter falls under the jurisdiction of the High Court administration, not the Lawyers’ Association,” she said.
Presently based in Pune, he reports on civil aviation, other transport sectors, urban mobility, the gig economy, commercial matters, and workers’ unions.
