Death Of Judge And Advocate

The two auto drivers arrested in the Dhanbad judge hit-and-run case have been sent to five days custody, even as lawyers across Jharkhand abstained from work Friday to protest against alleged mowing down of the judge and murder of an advocate earlier

An advocate today informed the Delhi High Court he will represent two death row convicts in the December 16 gang-rape Mukesh and Pawan, whose counsel had withdrawn from the case yesterday. But the court rejected his plea for recusal of one of the judges from the case.
