A ruling Congress leader also criticised the suspension, terming it &#8216;a sad day for judiciary&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Lawyers from South Goa district headquarters of Margao staged a demonstration and boycotted courts Thursday to the protest the suspension of 54-year-old District and Sessions Judge Desmond D&#8217;Costa by the Bombay High Court.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, lawyers from sub-district courts in Ponda, Pernem, Quepem, Canacona joined the agitation.<\/p>\n<p>D&#8217;Costa was recently in the news after he acquitted a 40-year-old serial killer, Mahanand Naik, in a murder case involving one of his 16 women victims.<\/p>\n<p>A delegation led by the South Goa Advocates Association (SGAA) president Anacleto Viegas submitted a memorandum to the registrar of the Panaji bench of the Bombay High Court, demanding the immediate reinstatement of the judge.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The agitation will continue if Judge D&#8217;Costa is not reinstated,&#8217; Viegas said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;D&#8217;Costa&#8217;s suspension &#8211; for a matter which he judicially decided and against which no appeal was filed by the state government &#8211; is highly deplorable,&#8217; Viegas said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;D&#8217;Costa is in the dock for merely doing his duty. The association will be constrained to take all available recourse possible, including direct action, if his suspension is not revoked,&#8217; Viegas added.<\/p>\n<p>Backing the suspended judge, Congress leader and assembly Deputy Speaker Mauvin Godinho said: &#8216;I have known Judge Desmond D&#8217;Costa. He is an upright man known for his principles. This is a sad day for the judiciary. I fully support D&#8217;Costa.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a civil society organisation also held a public meeting in D&#8217;Costa&#8217;s support.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The meeting is a mark of protest against the decision of the honourable judiciary to suspend an upright man like Judge D&#8217;Costa,&#8217; social activist Satish Sonak said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Goa lawyers continued their agitation against the suspension of a district judge for the second day, with more lawyers joining the strike Friday.
