"I am concerned about the Allahabad incident. I am in touch with the chief justice of that particular place and am sure we will solve this problem at the earliest," Dattu said.
The chief justice said that if the need arises he will go over to Allahabad and talk and convince the Bar over there.
"It may not be good for them (lawyers) as well as the institution to close it down and it is better to solve the problem amicably," Dattu said at a function organized by Supreme Court Bar Association to bid farewell to Justice S J Mukhopadhaya who is retiring tomorrow.
"We request your intervention in solving the problem at Allahabad. For independent judiciary it is necessary that their is independent bar. They need not be threatened in any way. Both Bar and Bench are the two wheels of chariot and if any one wheels falls, the chariot would get disbalanced," Dave said.

"Justice Mukhpadhaya has held the pristine of judiciary and upheld the basic tenets of law.

There was no reason forthcoming from the apex court registry for taking away the matter from the bench headed by Justice Mukhopadhaya, which had put some tough questions against the plea for anticipatory bail before granting Setalvad and her husband protection from arrest by passing order on February 13.
