Mangaluru: Graffiti row - Lawyer fraternity to not argue cases in favour of accused


Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru (EP)

Mangaluru, Dec 7: Recently anti-national messages were found written in several places including the walls of the district court premises. Several groups, associations and the lawyer fraternity have requested the Advocates Association members to not protect such people or argue their cases in courts.

A meeting presided over by Advocates Association president M Narasimha Hegde on December 7 discussed the matter in detail and decided that Mangaluru Advocates Association members will not provide legal assistance, cooperation or fight the cases of those who are involved in treason, terrorism or who rendered support in these acts.

The chief secretary of the association has also requested the association members to not argue cases of those guilty in the matter.

On November 9, a graffiti on the court wall was created but because it was in Urdu, people did not understand it and therefore it did not hog the limelight. Disappointed by the fact that their work did not attract the required attention, the accused had created another writing on the compound wall of a residential complex near Bejai Battagudda early morning on November 27 between 4 and 4.30 am. Even though the case was intricate, the police cracked it in six days and arrested two people in this connection.

    System itself disabling person to commit crimes. How about politicians who does day light Robert & loot...? Do they too treated same...? Why lawyers will not argue...? Its their profession to defend a victim...till he prove guilty or not.All conditions must be applied equally.

    Lawyers are trying to prove that they are patriots. Everyone knows what is there behind black coat.

    What if out of 3 members arrested one is not guilty or not involved in the case. What if someone is simply implicated in the case's. Are you leaving delivering justice to the hands of police?

    If the defense doesn't go in to facts of cases or merits investigation then what remedies available if one innocent get arrested?

    There is reason why defense is necessary in administrating justice. These legal professionals doesn't seems to be read bar council professional conduct rules properly.

    Very good move by the lawyers. Not for this occasion . Every time any anti national or peace disturbing issue happen lawyers should take similar stand so that it will send a clear messages to all those involved. In puttur gang Rape case 2 years back lawyers belonging to same party only fought and released the rapists from Jail. The stand should be same even if criminals belonging to our own religion. Let us start a new era Legal support is only for genuine cases.

    Why the hell are you arguing the cases of rapes and heinous crimes etc. ? Does these crimes doesn't go against humanity or not enough reason to stay away from arguing case's?

    When a kid was raped and killed in Kashmir, few lawyers supported the culprits because they belong to majority community.

    MS Golwalkar said to burn tri colour flag because its evil and he’s patriot.
    Arnab gets bail because of personal Liberty, Dr Stans can’t even get a sipper.

    This is modern India, everything is based on the religion.

    Good luck mother India!

    these lawyers are a disgrace to their profession and their oath to uphold justice. Good for all if they surrender their degrees and sit at home or at the border.

    Lawyers don’t decide accuse is guilty or not guilty for that judges are there .I don’t think it is right not to representing the accuse.

    What happened to the maxim Innocent till proven guilty?

    Tomorrow they will say they will not argue for a particular religious accused as he belongs to a different religion.

    Next will be the doctors who say they will not treat an accused as his/ her views differ from that of the doctor.

    We seem to be regressing as we advance in the 21st century. Shame.

    Wat a shame ! Its because of thinking like you these culprits get motivated to do such things, irrespective of what religion they belong to they should be punished, yes people like them shouldnt be given lawyers if proved wrong , you would never understand till it happens to you so i hope and pray that you dont face the fear people nearby do or in the country do ! Grow up sir !

    Innocence or guilt should be determined by the court.

    Lawyers and bar councils dont decide .

    Even Ajmal Kasab who was caught red handed in the Mumbai Attacks was provided with a lawyer.

    If lawyers dont defend , who will ?

    This means that defendant is left without a defence counsel which means no court proceedings at least for foreseeable future.??????????........
