Madras High Court Advocates Association president R C Paul Kanagaraj today alleged that the BCI, which has to support the cause of lawyers, was taking a negative stand.
He was reacting to the Bar Council of India's statement warning Bar association leaders in the state that they would be suspended if they created any disturbance protesting the amendments to Advocates Act despite the offer by the High Court to keep the changes in abeyance pending a discussion.
He demanded that the recent amended rules be withdrawn and requested the court to frame new rules with the consultation of all bar associations which will submit their objections, if any, for the proposed new rules.
Inviting all the Bar associations to attend the meeting, to be held at Erode on June 11 to discuss further course of action, he said till a decision is arrived nobody should go for boycott of courts which will be a last resort.
