T-ADVOCATES TRY TO BURN EFFIGIES, HELD

Several advocates were taken into police custody at Criminal Court Complex at Nampally and Ranga Reddy district court complex at LB Nagar in the city on Wednesday when they tried to burn an effigy of Andhra judges, demanding immediate bifurcation of the common High Court and recall of the list of provisional allocation of subordinate judicial officers between TS and AP.

As part of their ongoing stir to boycott all subordinate courts across the state, T-advocates gathered in front of the courts at Nampally and LB Nagar and tried to burn the effigies of Andhra judges.

The police intervened and this resulted in minor scuffles between the cops and lawyers. The protesters were taken into custody and shifted to police stations.

However, protesting advocated did manage to burn effigies in various districts across the state.

Meanwhile, an extraordinary general body meeting of Telangana High Court Advocates’ Association was held at the High Court on Wednesday.

The meeting resolved to boycott the High Court on July 1, demanding separate high courts for TS and AP and recall of the provisional list allocating subordinate judicial officers between the two states.

The meeting, while condemning the arrest of the lawyers at the Nampally and RR courts, demanded their immediate release.
