TN, Pondicherry Bar Council condemn police

Cuddalore, Sep 19 (UNI) The Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry Bar Council today condemned the district police for registering cases against 49 lawyers after their stand - off with the State Transport Corporation employees.

Addressing the lawyers here, who were boycotting the courts in Villupuram and Cuddalore districts, Bar Council President R K Chandramohan warned that the lawyers would intensify their stir, if police did not withdraw the cases immediately.

He said the lawyers would meet Madras High Court Chief Justice on September 21 in Chennai and draw the future course of action.
