Bangalore: There are protests in Karnataka over Chief Justice PD Dinakaran attending court. The lawyers have boycotted court and are demanding action against the judge who has been accused of corruption.
Several Karnataka High Court lawyers on Monday protested against continuance of Chief Justice P D Dinakaran, facing allegations of land grabbing, forcing him to suspend the proceedings and leave the hall.
Defying an order of the High Court, the lawyers abstained from court proceedings in response to a call given by the Advocates Association Bangalore (AAB) in consonance with a resolution it passed last week to protest Dinakaran's continuance.
The resolution said the lawyers wanted to "uphold the dignity and integrity of the judiciary".
Some of the pro-Dinakaran lawyers who were still attending court were physically pulled out by the protesting advocates.
