Courts in North at a standstill

30 July 2012 08:11 am

All lawyers in the North have decided to refrain from court duties today and tomorrow urging the authorities to arrest the suspects who pelted stones at the Mannar District courts.

Work at Vavunia, Kilinochchi, Mulative, Mannar and Jaffna Courts have come to a standstill today due to the boycott by lawyers. Work will commence on Thursday. As a result, the court cases due for these days have been postponed for September and October. (Romesh Madushanka)
