Lawyers in J&K's Poonch Boycott Courts After Police Stop Judge's Vehicle
Lawyers in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district have boycotted court work for two days following an incident where police stopped and searched the vehicle of Additional District Judge Wajahat Mir during the Budha Amarnath yatra. Lawyers allege police showed disrespect by removing the judge's vehicle keys and demand an impartial inquiry and action against involved officers. Police state the stop was a security measure to facilitate the pilgrimage convoy. Bar associations in the region support the protest, warning of extended action if concerns are not addressed.
