Ranchi, Jan 12: As many as seven advocates are on the radar of the Jharkhand State Bar Council for defying its decision to abstain from the court proceedings to protest against the court fee hike across the state.
The seven advocates include former AG Anil Kumar Sinha and Nilesh Kumar, Ashutosh Anand, Manoj Kumar Mishra, NK Ganjhu and Jitendra Kumar Pandey.
Notably, a letter issued today by Bar Council secretary Pradeep Kumar to the secretary of the Jharkhand High Court Advocate Association suggests so.
