An epic confusion of sorts

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The bicentennial celebrations of Thiruvananthapuram District Court commenced on Monday with a grand proclamation rally of the advocates accompanied by brass band and mounted police. The day also saw the birth of a fresh controversy regarding the history of the court.  The four-month-long celebrations, titled Legum Fest-2011, have been marred at the threshold itself following a section of advocates coming forward and alleging that the claim of the organisers that the District Court is entering into its 200th year was false. The rise of the rebel group saw the advocates at the District Court split into two camps,  resulting in confusion among them.
