Kerala High Court Advocates Association (KHCAA) today condemned the "hooliganism" by a group of lawyers at Patiala House Court in Delhi last week, when JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar was produced for hearing.

A resolution moved by Advocate Manu Sebastian and others was declared as passed by Association president S U Nazar.

However, a group of lawyers, claiming to be BJP supporters, raised objections and an advocate allegedly tore copies of the resolution.

Later, Nazar said it was a resolution related to the Patiala House Court incident and not in connection with the incidents that happened in JNU.

A section of advocates have demanded action against the lawyer who tore away the original resolution after snatching it from Nazar.
 

Kanhaiya who was arrested by Delhi Police in connection with a sedition case for allegedly raising anti-India slogans during a controversial event held at JNU, was sent to Tihar Jail on February 19.
