Calcutta high court advocates, following the local high court bar association’s majority resolution, have gone on strike for three days from today due to the heat, reported the PTI, with judges waiting in vain in chambers to handle cases without lawyers present despite relaxing lawyers’ dress code requirements to “white shirt and pants”.
Chief Justice Manjula Chellur “likened the attitude of a section of lawyers practising at the high court with that of schoolchildren” and that the strike was irritating and painful.
