Advocates practising in Madras High Court have caused huge disgrace to themselves by taking law in their own hands. Whatever their feelings about Sri Lakan Tamils might be , how can they throw eggs, stones, in the High Court premises merely because action against Subramaniyam Swami was not taken on the earlier day.
Obviously Mr. Swamy who had come to Wednesday in Madras High Court with a request to implead himself as a party Respondent in one Devashtnam matter. He had not violated any law by doing so. His strongest views against LTTE are well known for more than two decades. For what he should be booked in first place?
Those lawyers who indulged in such heinous act of spoiling the sanctity of court premises must be hauled up for committing a contempt of court. If this trend is not arrested and dealt with seriously then lawyers elsewhere in the country would emulate their Chennai brethren.
As deterrent measure, those lawyers who would be found guilty after the enquiry should be debarred from donning a black coat for one year not only in TN, but elsewhere in India as well. They should thank UPA that POTA is not in force. Or else, these lawyers could have been easily booked for sympathising with the LTTE which has been proscribed as terror outfit under that law.
