LUCKNOW, Nov. 15 -- Hundreds of lawyers in Lucknow took to the streets on Saturday, breaching barricades and moving towards Vidhan Bhavan to press for their eight-point charter of demands, including implementation of the Uttar Pradesh Advocates Protection Act. The lawyers gathered at the Qaiserbagh court premises around 10 am before marching. The lawyers eventually breached barricades and continued their march towards the assembly gate, where they staged a sit-in and raised slogans. They also pulled down iron barricades, bamboo barriers and metal fencing. The demonstration followed a joint general body meeting of the Central Bar Association and Lucknow Bar Association on November 13 under CBA president Akhilesh Jaiswal and LBA president GN Shukla. The meeting was convened under the direction of the two associations' general secretaries Avneesh Dixit and Jitendra Singh Yadav. CBA general secretary Avneesh Dixit said a massive state-level lawyers' mahapanchayat would be organised in Lucknow if the government failed to take an early decision. The protest was called off after the delegation submitted a memorandum to JCP (law and order) Babloo Kumar. "The memorandum was accepted and the situation remains under control," the JCP said. However, the lawyers warned they would gherao the CM's residence if the government failed to address their demands within 15 days....
