Letter Petition In Bombay High Court Seeks Security For Lawyers In The Wake Of Abduction & Subsequent Killing Of A Pune Lawyer

Live Law  

A Pune based lawyer has sent a letter petition to the Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court, seeking security for lawyers in the wake of abduction and subsequent murder of a lawyer, allegedly in relation to a land dispute. He wrote, "If protectors of law are subjected to such open hunting grounds in the hands of adversaries then the objectives of the Public Interest Litigation, The Right to Information Act, The Lokpal Act, The Legal Aid Act will be defeated as lawyers in fear of assassination and such other offences against their body and property will reprimand them from any pro bono activities." In his letter petition, Phalke has alleged that the act of abducting a lawyer from the vicinity of the Court premises and then assassinating him is not possible without the tacit support of law and order mechanism of the city. But such government officers suspected in such heinous offence of executing an officer of the court are let free to destroy evidence and implicate their coercion further on the demised lawyer's family and friends."
