The functioning of a few courts in the district judiciary of the State was hit following a boycott call by lawyers.
The lawyers kept off the courts protesting against K.K. Lenin Das, the First Class Judicial Magistrate, Tirur, who, according to the protesters, had ordered the arrest of a lawyer, who was present in his court. A section of lawyers had also moved the High Court demanding action against the officer.
Later, the Registrar (District Judiciary) of the Kerala High Court transferred the officer as Additional Munsiff, Kannur, in the “exigencies of service.”
