KANCHEEPURAM: The court boycott by the Kancheepuram Bar Association - condemning the police for threatening to take action against two female lawyers who had allegedly threatened high profile Sankararaman murder case approver Ravi Subramaniam - entered the second day on Tuesday.Meanwhile, police sources said action would be taken against the female lawyers as soon as Ravi Subramaniam’s complaint, at present with judicial magistrate G Uthamaraj, was forwarded to the police.
Bar association president M Madanagopal said it was impossible for the advocates to talk to Ravi Subramaniam as his cell was in the eastern corner of the 350-feet-long sub jail compound while the jail superintendent’s office was located at the other end.
Stating that both were deputed for free legal aid duty for a three-month period, he said it was in this connection that they visited the jail two or three days a week and conducted their work in the superintendent’s office in the presence of the jail staff.
However, Kancheepuram SP K Premkumar said that Ravi Subramanian, in his complaint to the magistrate on February 10, had demanded protection, clearly indicating that they had visited him on three days, the last being on February 9. Meanwhile, the two female lawyers, Nadira Banu and Revathi, moved the Sessions Court in Chengalpet for anticipatory bail through advocates ayachandran and Lakshmana Reddiar.
