After a special sitting, the Delhi High Court on Sunday directed judicial enquiry into the Tis Hazari clashes in Court premises yesterday.

The Court appointed former Delhi HC judge Justice SP Garg to head the probe. 

The judicial probe should be assisted by Director CBI and should be completed within 6 weeks.

The Delhi Police Commissioner has been directed to immediately suspend the accused police officials.

The Court has directed the Delhi Police Commissioner to record the statements of all injured advocates.

The Delhi Government has been directed to provide best medical treatment to injured advocates, if possible in AIIMS - especially to the seriously injured.  The Court also directed the Delhi Government to provide a lump sump ex gratia amount of 50,000 to Adv Vijay Verma (who suffered gun shot injuries), and of Rs 15,000 and 10,000 to other two injured advocates. Compensation over and above this amount has to be paid later, based on future needs.

The directions were passed by the bench in a suo moto case taken on the basis of an application by the Bar Council of India.

In the application moved before the court, the Bar Council of India has mentioned that till now no FIR has been lodged in the matter. The body has also submitted that Delhi police cannot be expected to conduct a fair and impartial investigation as some of its officials are themselves accused in the matter.
