Two leading lawyers of the city have received a letter threatening them with dire consequences if they continue to represent certain clients and participate in suits involving those clients.
Informing this today, the Meghalaya High Court Bar Association said that the miscreants also sent two bullets along with the letter.
The Meghalaya High Court Bar Association in an emergency meeting held here today has expressed concern over the threat issued to the two lawyers.
According to the association, the members at the meeting were of the unanimous view that such threat was an act of unwarranted intervention with the professional commitments of the two lawyers and “is not only a gross infringement of their constitutional and other valuable rights but also a cruel assault on the very foundations of civilised existence”.
While condemning the threat received by the two lawyers, the Meghalaya High Court Bar Association unanimously resolved that it shall always be by their side in such trying circumstances.
