The Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry strongly condemns
the brutal killing of the Learned Judge Uttam Anand, Additional District and
Sessions Judge VIII, Dhanbad, Jharkhand, by hitting with a vehicle on
28.07.2021 when he was out on a morning walk. The entire legal fraternity
in the country was shocked about the incident of indiscriminate and
inhuman act of culprits. If this kind of brutal murder is allowed to take place
unabatedly, then this will be a challenge to the very existence of Judiciary
and existence of rule of law and it will be like a direct threat to the Judiciary.
Hence, the same is highly condemnable and it has to be nipped at the bud
by establishing a Special Investigation Team and also Special Courts has
to be established to deal with this kind of criminals.
The State Governments may ensure that this type of atrocious as
against the Judges and Advocates have to be curtailed in the initial stage
itself to safeguard the Judiciary and the Justice Delivery System. Further,
sufficient protection is necessary to the Learned Judges and Advocates
who are dealing with the sensational cases. We express our deep
condolences to the bereaved family members of learned Judge
Mr. Uttam Anand.
