Condemning the murder of lawyer couple Gattu Vaman Rao and P.V. Nagamani, lawyers across the State decided to abstain from court work today (Thursday) and organise protest meetings.
Telangana High Court Advocates Association president T. Suryakaran Reddy requested all members of the association to keep off court work voluntarily. “It is time to show, demonstrate our unity. A strong message must be conveyed to miscreants adopting unconstitutional methods towards lawyers,” he said in statement on Wednesday.
Condemning the double murder, individual lawyers and some Bar Associations urged the government to bring Advocates Protection Act. Advocates from Andhra Pradesh too condemned the killing of the lawyer couple and decided to convene demonstrations protesting the attacks on lawyers.
