Independence of judiciary as guaranteed to every citizen by the Constitution of India, means non-interference by the State .
Judges and lawyers cannot function without FEAR if the Government can interfere with course of justice and police enter Courts at will.
The course of litigation against the 19th February incidents show that the T.N government is deliberately preventing courts from passing orders.
Lawyers have a Constitutional duty NOT TO participate in Courts until the State Government stops shielding the police officers responsible for the grave Constitutional violation and takes responsibility for the brutal events of 19th February 2009.
The lawyers’ boycott of courts IS AGAINST THE T.N. GOVERNMENT AND NOT AGAINST THE JUDICIARY.
Even the British government denounced Jallianwala as monstrous and recalled General Dyer from the post.
Remember – the First Indian Civil Disobedience Movement started in 1920 after the Jallianwala Bagh incident of 1919 AND Rabindra Nath Tagore returned his Knighthood in protest.
Lawyers in Tamil Nadu will suspend their practice if called upon!

Lawyers being Court Officers have a duty to protect and assert the independence of Judiciary. This being a duty, can not be compared with other strikes.
