Just as the Yeddyculous and Reddyculous political drama got over, the Karnataka lawyers turned to their favorite law books this time to beat up a TV cameraman, while the locked-up judges called out to the rowdy LAW-IRES to open the door.
The reason was Dinakaran. The unruly lawyers chanted slogans as the obviously "hurt" justice struggled his way to reach the caring arms of family, who were leisurely waiting for his return.
However, way home was not that easy for the chief justice. “What sin have I committed? Why are you protesting against me? Allow me to do my duty. The court cannot tolerate such acts,” a hurt Dinakaran asked the protesting LAW-yers.
Rejecting Dinakaran’s plea, the lawyers continued to shout “Resign chief justice” and “Down, down Dinakaran” inside and outside the courtroom and prevented the proceedings.
Throwing away all regards to law and decorum, the lawyers displayed their best behaviour by finally beating the cameraman of an english TV channel. A comment that I heard: "Its Sad, he(cameraman) can't even file a case of assault!"
Indeed when lawyers turn breakers, the entire democracy and justice system gets questioned. Are lawyers above law?Would judiciary as well be an impotent witness to this wanton behaviour?
