Defendant hurled slipper at judge


An Indian man allegedly hurled a slipper at a court judge who promptly threw a paperweight back in reply.

Nazir Mohammad was in court in Baroda on charges of housebreaking and theft when he jumped out of the witness box and rushed towards the judge.

The robber, reportedly irritated with the slow pace of the case, took off his slipper and threw it at Chief judicial magistrate C D Vaghela.

Judge Vaghela immediately picked up a paperweight from his desk and threw it back at the accused, reports Midday.

Mohammed, who attacked two other judges last year in similar fashion, has been sent back to prison with an extra offence registered against him.

Members of the Baroda Bar Association went on strike after the incident to protest at the lack of security for judges, lawyers and witnesses.

Who wears slippers to court? Like if your going to wear slippers may as well wear steel toed boots. Now those will do some damage. How come this judge isn't in trouble? Since when can judges throw stuff at defendants? Like oh I got hit with a slipper I'll throw this brick at your dome. Gotta love the law
