SHILLONG, APR 10: The High Court of Meghalaya Bar Association on Wednesday condemned the threat issued to two leading advocates.

President of the Association S Chakrawarty in a statement said a special meeting convened by the executive committee of the association has viewed with great concern the unprecedented act of issuance a grave threat to two leading advocates of the city, by some miscreants threatening them with dire consequences if they continue to represent certain clients and participate in suits involving those clients and “even enhancing the threat by enclosing two bullets with the letter”.

He said the members participating were of the unanimous view that the said act of unwarranted intervention with the professional commitments of the said advocates is not only a gross infringement of their constitutional and other valuable rights but also a cruel assault on the very foundations of civilized existence.

“It was therefore unanimously resolved that the said act of threatening the said two advocates is unequivocally condemned on behalf of this association with an unqualified assurance to all advocates that this association shall always be by their side in such trying circumstances,” Chakravarty said.
