Lawyers in the northern peninsula are planning to boycott courts from May 2nd until the space allocated for them at the newly-opened judicial complex in Jaffna is made available to them, 'Tamil Net' reported.
Zonal Vice President of the Northern Bar Association of Sri Lanka Shantha Abimanasinghe said the failure of any constructive measure to be taken in this regard has forced us to resort to boycott.
This is despite NBSL's discussions on the issue with the Attorney General and key officials of the Justice Ministry, she added.
The library, consultation hall and canteen for the use of lawyers allocated in the newly opened judicial complex in Jaffna are yet to be made available according to the time schedule agreed upon, the Vice President said.
The Magistrate's Court and High Court in Jaffna town as well as the Chavakachcheri courts in Thenmaradchi, Point Pedro Court in Vadamaradchi, Mallakam Court in Valikamam, Kayts Court in the islets of Jaffna will be forced to cease functioning, 'Tamil Net' added.
