Kundapur, Feb 26: A protest was held here on Tuesday February 24 by the lawyers and office bearers of Kundapur Bar Association, to express their resentment at the proposed ammendments to the Indian Penal Code(IPC) and Limited Liability Partnership Act, being brought by the Central government.

Speaking on the occasion, G Santosh Kumar Shetty, president, Kundapur Bar Association, said that the government is meddling with the sensibilities and respectability of the general public apart from interfering with the functioning of the legal administration system by ammending  articles 41 and 309 of the Indian Penal Code.

The ammended sections of the IPC will further be used as a potent  weapon by the miscreants to destroy the society and societal peace, he said.

The President of India must not give her final approval to these ammendments, as they are against public interest, the lawyers argued. A  memorandum was submitted in this connection, to the President of India  through the assistant commissioner of Kundapur.

The office bearers and members of the Bar Association were present on the occasion. As the lawyers stayed away from work, many people who came from far off places, and whose cases were posted for Tuesday, faced lot of inconveniences.
