Lawyers will boycott the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court for two hours on Thursday protesting against some recent judgments that put a complete bar to seeking bail even in the High Court in the cases under Emergency Powers Rules.
  

 Supreme Court verdicts that allowed the government to try previous offences under emergency rules also enraged lawyers, who adopted the boycott decision at an emergency general meeting of the Supreme Court Bar Association on Sunday.
