Mangaluru: Barely two days after being put up at the main door of the Dakshina Kannada District Court complex, the board that restricted entry to only ‘judicial officers,’ is missing on Monday morning.

The new board was installed on Saturday, prohibiting citizens as well as lawyers from entering through the door. The office-bearers of the Mangalore Bar Association informed the judge of the prohibition immediately but received no response, said sources.

Now, the board with the message, “Restricted entry: Entry reserved for Judicial Officers only,” is not to be found at the door to the court complex.

“As citizens too have criticized the installation of the board, the Association has called for a meeting on Tuesday afternoon. The matter will be discussed at the meeting and we will arrive at a decision regarding the board,” Shridhar Yenmakaje, secretary of the Association has said.
