The Allahabad high court terminated 11 trainee judicial officers from the lower judicial service last week after their involvement in a drunken brawl in Lucknow.

The 11 trainees had visited a restaurant on August 7 to celebrate the completion of their training from the Judicial Training Research Institute. After consuming liquor, they were allegedly involved in a scuffle which was also captured on the restaurant's CCTV camera.

As reported by Legally India, the HC’s administrative committee had already recommended the suspension of 20 trainee judges who were originally accused of misbehaviour, according to several local news sources, but the full court headed by chief justice DY Chandrachud decided to terminate the services of 11 out of the 20 trainees.

The full court also transferred three additional directors in the institute, who had allegedly tried to hush up the incident. As reported by ENewspaper of India, a female trainee judge was the target of their alleged misbehaviour.

Some reactions on Twitter on the incident-

In which a woman trainee judge becomes a 'girl' but the many men harassing her are 'trainee judges' http://t.co/u9aR3RNThY HT @LegallyIndia — Nandita Saikia (@nsaikia) September 22, 2014
