IMPHAL, Feb 5 Joining the nationwide strike called by the All Bar Association of Delhi against the alleged anti-public and anti-society amendments in Section 41 and Section 309 of Criminal Procedure Code as well as Section 2 (e) of the Limited Liability Partnership Act, the lawyers of Manipur today protested the amendment.
The strike was organised by the All Manipur Bar Association (AMBA) and no official works were done for the day.
Under the new amendment, the police, instead of arresting the accused, will be obliged to issue a notice of appearance for any offences punishable with imprisonment up to seven years. Seven years or even less is the maximum penalty for a host of offences including attempt to commit culpable homicide under Section 308, 393, 325, 304 A.
PTI adds from Agartala: Lawyers in Tripura today abstained from work in protest against the amendment of provisions of Sections 41 and 309 of IPC.
