Telangana Advocates’ Joint Action Committee (TAJAC) has decided to boycott all courts in the Telangana region and organize a rally from AP high Court to Madina, in protest against G.O. No. 2348 on December 17. It also threatened to continue agitation until the GO was withdrawn by the State government. The JAC appealed to all T-advocates to go to Delhi and demonstrate at the venue of all party meeting on December 28 to pressurize the Centre for separate Telangana.
Speaking to the media here, M. Rajender Reddy, convenor, TAJAC, condemned the issue of GO, which meant to prosecute 24 advocates for allegedly indulging in vandalism in the High Court. He ridiculed the cases booked against the advocates, though the government appointed a cabinet sub-committee and an agreement was reached between JAC and government on September 18 this year. He also expressed anguish over the government shielding the tainted cabinet ministers and officers, who were accused of causing loss of several thousand crores to the government and trying to terrorize the advocates, who fought for a fair share in the appointment of various posts in the High Court and so on as well as due share of the people of T-region.
Sahodhar Reddy, member, Advocates Bar council, said the T-advocates would burn copy of the controversial GO and effigy of the State government before all courts in the region. He demanded that the Congress, TDP and YSRC parties declare their stands on Telangana before all-party meeting which would be held on December 28.
Janardhan, president, Hyderabad civil court, Mohan, convenor, High Court, Prabhakar Reddy, president, Nampally criminal court, Sunil Goud, member, Bar council and others were present.
