Speaking at the Regional Advocates' Conference 2016 organised by the Mangalore Bar Association here on Saturday, he called upon the law professionals to uphold justice from their home level.

“Advocates are cream of society. They even participated in the freedom struggle. They played a pivotal role in maintaining peace in society. They are pace makers of society,” he said.

He said the advocates should uphold the interest of their clients. They are rendering skills by enrolling themselves with the Legal Services Authority to serve the needy in the country. Advocacy is a responsible profession, Justice Nazeer said.

High Court and District Administrative Judge Justice AN Venugopal Gowda said advocates should have knowledge of all issues to provide justice to clients.

“Though specialisation in law is becoming popular in the recent years, the advocates should have knowledge in all fields,” he said.

“Leadership qualities in advocates are on the decline in recent years. The advocates played a vital role in the freedom movement. The advocates have a social responsibility. The governments spend a huge amount of money to construct courts and provide basic facilities to the courts for the advocates to start their service to the society. Hence, the advocates have a greater social responsibility,” he remarked.

Chairman of Backward Classes Commission of Andhra Pradesh Justice K L Manjunath, Advocate General of Karnataka Madhusudan R Naik, District and Sessions Judge Uma M G and others were present. SP Chengappa, president, Mangalore Bar Association, the host of the regional conference, welcomed those present in the gathering.

Prophet Muhammed Pbuh asked with the companions : Do U know who is the one who is BANKRUPT?
They said : The BANKRUPT is the ONE who has NO MONEY and NO POSSESSIONS.
Prophet muhammad pbuh said : Among my UMMAH, the ONE who is BANKRUPT is the one who will come on the DaY of Resurrection with PRAYER, Fasting and Zakah (to his credit), But he will come having insulted this one, slandered that one, consumed the Wealth of so & so, shed the blood of so & so and beaten so & so.
So they will all be given some of his hasanaat (the good he did) and when his hasanaat run out, before judgement is passed, some of their sins will be taken and cast onto Him, then he will be cast into the Fire.

Stop oppressing other people... A day will come to face our CREATOR, who created me, YOU and all that exist in this earth.

It has been 33 years since the night of 22 May, 1987 when nearly 50 Muslim men from Hashimpura, a settlement in Meerut were rounded up and packed into the rear of a truck of the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC), an armed police of Uttar Pradesh. It was the blessed month of Ramadan and all the Muslims were fasting.

That night 42 of those on board the truck were killed in two massacres in neighbouring Ghaziabad district. One along the Upper Ganga canal near Muradnagar, the other along the Hindon canal in Makanpur, on the border with Delhi.

The cops had returned home after dumping the dead bodies into the canal. A few days later, the dead bodies were found floating in the canal and a case of murder was registered. 

Vir Bahadur Singh was the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh and Rajiv Gandhi was the prime minister of India when this incident took place. 

Not much has changed for the survivors and the relatives of the victims even today. The wounds are still fresh. Hashimpura remains devoid of basic municipal amenities, the erring silence on the narrow lanes of the locality amid the activities of a daily life speaks of the horror of the fateful day in 1987.

The massacre was the result of one among the many outcomes of the decision taken by the Rajiv Gandhi government to open the locks of Babri Masjid. After a month of rioting, the situation was tense in various parts of Meerut, and a lot spilled over in the nearby areas.
