The Morbi Bar Association on Wednesday said its members won’t represent the accused in the suspension bridge collapse that claimed 135 lives.
Members of the association on Wednesday held a protest march, a day after passing a resolution to not fight cases for the accused in the bridge collapse tragedy.
Morbi Bar Association and Rajkot Bar Association have decided to not take their case and represent them. Both the bar associations have passed this resolution, senior advocate A C Prajapati said.
All the lawyers of the association are deeply saddened by the tragedy. This is a moral call. We won’t represent any accused in the bridge collapse case after the death of so many innocent people, another lawyer said.
