Bar Council Warns Against criticising jaya verdict judge

Chennai: The Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry has warned against publicly criticising Karnataka High Court judge, Justice CR Kumaraswamy over the verdict acquitting AIADMK general secretary J Jayalalithaa. “The statutory Bar Council cannot keep its eye shut when any section of the legal fraternity comes under motivated campaign,” said Bar Council chairman D Selvam.  “A verdict is a public document once it is delivered. The person behind it should not be targeted. Everyone has freedom to criticise a judgment, but not the judge,” he added. The Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry would initiate action if any further criticism appeared in the media and social networking sites, said Selvam.
