if there is any conflict between lawyer and police officers and the "Bar" of a district court passed a resolution not to co-operate with any police person. it has been also decided by the advocates of the 'bar association' that they will not allow any police person to enter in the court premises neither any accused will be produced before the court by any police from any police station.
what is the power of police officers which they can do within court premises?
The lawyers of the 'Bar Association' has agreed that if they say sorry to the lawyers for the wrong they did than everything will be resumed but police officer denied doing so.
Now the question is what they can do?
Is there any provision police can utilize?

The Police can make forceful entry in the court and produce the accused persons.
However keeping the general law and order in mind they are unlikely to do this.

The presiding officer of the court, is having all such powers and duty to do the needful, to conduct the court proceedings. The presiding officer is having the right to call police protection.
But, normally the the presiding officer will not do that, because they want to maintain a cordial relationship with the Bar.

Why do you raise the Bar and Bench problem combining it with Police problems? There are lot of things as per law to be done or can be handled but the local sentiments and sensitivity prevails over all the prescribed procedures.

The lawyers cannot take law into their hands. They liable for action if they obstruct the police or the Court.
