Port Blair, Feb 24: Lawyers of Mayabunder Court today observed cease work protesting against the F.I.R. lodged against a Judicial Officer of Mayabunder Court.
The President of Mayabunder BAR Association Advocate Tapan Bepari told Andaman Sheekha that the work shall remain in ceased until an Independent judicial Inquiry is conducted into the matter of F.I.R. lodged following a complaint lodged by a lady Police Constable at PS Kalighat.
“The BAR Association believes that the A & N P will not conduct inquiry without prejudice because a Police personal has lodged complaint and they will do everything for the interest of the Police not for the justice. The BAR association believes that It has been pre-planed & it is a conspiracy by a senior Police Officer and some individuals, to malign the Judiciary,” Advocate Bepari added.
Meanwhile the Bar Association of Port Blair also conducted a special meeting yesterday in this regard.
“Proper inquiry should be conducted in this regard. For a Judicial Officer a Judicial Officer should do the inquiry. Second thing is that the victim is a Police Constable and we want that the investigation should be done by an independent body like CBI so that truth comes out,” the Secretary of Bar Association, Port Blair, Advocate Rakesh Pal Govind told Andaman Sheekha today.
