Cop kills Counsel - Lawyers to Boycott Courts Today
THE Bar Council of India has strongly condemned the ghastly and brutal killing of a lawyer by police officials in court premises at Allahabad on 11th March. The Bar Council says that to show their solidarity, lawyers throughout the country shall abstain from attending their works on 16th March 2015.
Chief Justice of India Justice HL Dattu said, "I will travel to Allahabad if need arises to convince the Bar that going on strike is not a solution to the problem."
Meanwhile the Supreme Court Bar association in a Circular said that while SCBA members will not abstain from work on Monday, 16th March 2015, we will lodge our protest by putting a white ribbon on our coats on Monday.
