More than 2,000 lawyers in the sessions and various other sub-ordinate judiciary courts boycotted courts and staged a demonstration on Monday demanding that Kerala should abide by the Supreme Court order and honour the rights of Tamil Nadu over Mullaperiyar Dam. Lawyers led by Bar Association president P. Nandakumar and secretary Richard urged the Centre to intervene and ensure an amicable solution to the simmering dispute between the two States over the issue. The demonstration took place at the sessions court entrance on Arts College road, while another section of lawyers burnt the copies of Kerala-based newspapers at the other gate of the sessions court complex.
