Chaos at Courtroom: Pardon follows apology

HC exonerates errant lawyers from contempt of court charge; lower court sends 10 to jail in 2 criminal cases

A High Court bench yesterday pardoned and exonerated 13 pro-BNP lawyers from contempt of court charges after most of them apologised for staging noisy protests in the courtroom early this month.
Judges AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik and Gobinda Chandra Tagore also vacated their earlier order that banned the lawyers from practising.
