Mangalore, Jan 10: Demanding the immediate arrest of the miscreants who assaulted a local advocate Dinesh Hegde Ulepady, members of Mangalore Bar Association refrained from court work on Friday January 9.
Association members pressed for the immediate arrest of the miscreants. After deciding to refrain from the court work, the lawyers came out from courts in the morning and gathered in front of the court before spelling out the above demand.
Bar Association president S P Chengappa said, assaulting an advocate is an attack on justice and hence urged the policemen to arrest the miscreants involved soon. He also warned that the lawyers would launch an agitation in case the assailants are not nabbed soon.
Ulepady was assaulted on January 7 by unknown miscreants after which, he was admitted to hospital with minor injuries.
