Holding placards and posters the lawyers held a sit-in in front of the Madras High Court. The premises of Chennai turned into a battleground on Thursday after lawyers set fire to a police station in Chennai and 20 policemen were injured in clashes after the arrest of legal counsel sympathetic to Sri Lankan rebels.
