"Bar council of India never tolerates the disturbing elements in the institutions. It is an unfortunate incident. The court of the judge was not only boycotted but disruptive practices were adopted and slogans, posters which are most disruptive," said bar council chairman Manan Mishra citing the protest at the Calcutta high court.
He said that such people are unbecoming of a lawyer and should not be allowed to practice.
