Jaffna lawyers will boycott their normal duties today as a mark of protest against the shooting incident that killed the security officers of Jaffna High Court Judge M. Ilanchezhiyan. The lawyers took this decision yesterday.

Besides, private bus operations will also come to a standstill today.

The northern province private bus owners association said that arrangements have been made to stop all private buses today by condemning the shooting at the security officers of the High Court Judge and demanding the immediate arrest of the suspects . (Romesh Madhushanka)

This is unnecessary....while this is a serious case all should leave it to the Police detectives to handle these incidents.

Agree with BuffaloaCitizen - this is highly unnecessary. But then a=again, they should also get publicity like the GMOA. the disease is spreading like dengue

What they need to do is not to refrain from normal duties, but to work round the clock and finish cases in double quick time, without merely postponing hearing, every time a case is called. Justice delayed is justice denied.
