What’s the Claim?
Sharing the video, social media users are claiming that, it is first time a fight between a female judge and a female advocate took place in Maharashtra. This incident happened after the judge denied bail to the female advocate’s fiancée.

According to the report, this incident took place at a family court in the Kasganj district of Uttar Pradesh. Both the ladies were advocates. They had come to the court to resolve a matrimonial matter of a couple.
Advocate Yogyata Saxena lodged a complaint with Kasganj Police after she was thrashed by the prosecution advocate and her client over a difference of opinion.
Following this incident, Kasganj Police also tweeted saying, “In relation to an incident on 27 October 2022 in Kasganj, advance action is being taken by registering charges under relevant sections.”
We found the same video uploaded on the Navbharat Times YouTube channel 2 months ago. According to the report, the incident took place inside the family court premise in Kasganj, Uttar Pradesh.
