The pro-BNP lawyers involved in creating chaos in the High Court will apologise for their conduct on August 14.The decision was taken at a meeting between pro-opposition and pro-government lawyers Thursday, Attorney General Mahbubey Alam told The Daily Star.
Prior to apologising before the HC, the lawyers accused in two cases filed for assaulting police and preventing them from their official duties on the Supreme Court premises will surrender before a lower court, according to the resolution.
The attorney general met Khandker Mahbub Hossain, president of Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) in the morning.
Alam told news hounds that 10 accused lawyers, who are still on the run, will surrender before the trial court.
If the lawyers are sent to jail after surrender, the police will produce them before the HC bench so that they can apologise on August 14, he added.
Four accused lawyers have already been placed in durance vile.
The AG assured the SC bar president that the law enforcers will not harass or torture the accused lawyers.
