Eight young advocates, four men and women, practising in the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court have two-wheelers now, thanks to the goodwill and support of their colleagues.
Four women advocates similarly benefited last year.
The fund for purchase of the vehicles was generated from remuneration turned down by advocates appointed as advocate commissioners to assist the court. Contributions were also made by other advocates towards the fund.
Administrative Judge of the HC Bench Justice N. Kirubakaran, who mooted the idea of setting up the fund, handed over the keys to the eight advocates on Tuesday.

The court issues direction to Bar Council as the association went on strike
“Bar leaders are neither labour leaders nor political leaders to call a strike. They are advocates belonging to a noble profession,” the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court observed on Monday while directing the Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry to take appropriate action against Nagercoil Bar Association for going on a strike.
The court was hearing the petition filed by advocate G. Sivakumar of Kanniyakumari district, a member of Nagercoil Bar Association. The association had called court boycott on December 8 in support of farmers protesting in Delhi. However, Mr. Sivakumar attended the court and argued a case before a Judicial Magistrate, in the interest of his client.
