The Madras High Court asked the State Public Prosecutor to facilitate a meeting between bar bodies and the Director General of Police to address the issue of frequent attacks on lawyers. The court’s suggestion came after a recent incident where a lawyer was stabbed outside a court complex. The Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry filed a petition seeking directions for better security measures to protect lawyers.

This ruling underscores the importance of addressing security concerns for lawyers and ensuring a safe working environment.
