The suspension of Additional Sessions judge Desmond D'Costa for acting hastily in the case of serial killer Mahanand Naik has sparked protests here with lawyers and social activists seeking "justice" and demanding his re-instatement.
While lawyers have boycotted majority of the lower courts for three days, social activists have rallied behind D'Costa, resolving to fight against the 'injustice' meted out to him.
South Goa Bar Association's President Anacleto Viegas claimed D'Costa's suspension came after senior Principal and Sessions Judge, U V Bakre, gave a report complaining against him to the High Court.
Following this, lawyers from South Goa decided to boycott court of Bakre to express solidarity with D'Costa, an erstwhile students' leader and a judge with 20 years of experience.
"We will continue boycotting his courts till D'Costa is re-instated," Viegas said
