  "account": "A dispute between a judge and police officers has caused court disruptions in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch region for two days, with lawyers accusing the cops of harassing the judge and demanding action. The incident reportedly occurred on Monday evening when police stopped the vehicle of Poonch's Additional District Judge Wajahat Mir, who was en route to Poonch after attending a yatra in Budha Amarnath. The judge claimed he was asked to park on the roadside and that an assistant sub-inspector took his keys without permission. As news spread, other judges arrived to escort the judge. The police defended their actions, stating it was a security measure to allow the pilgrim convoy to move unhindered, as it was the first day of the yatra. The judge, traveling in his personal vehicle without any police protection, did not stop at the designated spot and continued, prompting police to alert authorities on the Surankote Bypass road to intercept the vehicle. The judge, however, refused to comply and proceeded to Poonch. The yatra, which lasts from August 16 to August 28, requires strict security measures due to the threat perception.",
