Bombay High Court
A 55-year-old man, who lost his property dispute case, attempted to kill himself inside the Bombay High Court on Friday.
The incident occurred around 1 pm in Justice P D Naik's courtroom. However, he was stopped by the lawyers present in the court.
In the hearing, the judge ordered the man, who was locked in a property dispute with his mother, to vacate his premise under the Senior Citizens Act.
After the order was passed, the man went up to the judge, took out a paper cutter knife from his trouser pocket, and tried to slit his own wrist, eye witnesses said.

Metal detectors at the two entry gates of the high court haven't been functioning for a while, which was why, perhaps, the man could enter the premises with a paper cutter.
