“ Lawyers are aghast from the order of the principal district judge for banning entry of advocates in the civil court premises on Saturday while proceeding of monthly Lok Adalat was scheduled on the day. So lawyers have resolved to continue their boycott in protest.
However, the principal district judge denied to have banned the entry of lawyers in the civil court. “ No one was stopped from entry. If anyone has any complaint he should come and talk with me,” he said. He also denied having information about the boycott of the civil court by the Bar Association.
The lawyers of Koderma sat on the main gate of civil court on Saturday after they were denied entry allegedly as per the order of the principal district judge.
Litigants had to face sheer hardship due to the court boycott call by lawyers. Several affected litigants rued that without a proper announcement of the strike they failed to get justice scheduled to be heard today as lawyers did not appear in court.
