Crucial lawyers meeting today

Staff Correspondent

HUBLI: : With their boycott of court not making any impact, lawyers of Dharwad will meet on Wednesday to decide on the next course of action.

Differences have emerged between the lawyers of Hubli and Dharwad over the location of the proposed Circuit Bench of the High Court. While Dharwad lawyers contend that Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court N.K. Sodhi has not ruled out the Water and Land Management Institute (WALMI) building in Dharwad for housing the Circuit Bench, Hubli lawyers have come up with a demand that the Bench should be set up at Navanagar, midway between Hubli and Dharwad.

Dharwad Bar Association president B.D. Hiremath has said that there has been no outright rejection of WALMI building. The Chief Justice has suggested that the building can be used for administrative purposes and separate buildings built around the building.
