Rourkela: In response to an all-India strike call given by the Bar Council of India and Odisha State Bar Council, the lawyers of Rourkela here boycotted the court proceedings today and condemned the recent police attack on lawyers in Jaipur and Chandigarh.

The Rourkela Bar Association (RBA) staged a demonstration in front of the ADM office here. The move came after the Bar Council of India issued a notification to the Odisha State Bar Council as well as all bars and courts of the country to support for the cause.

Advocate Ramesh Bal, president of RBA said, “As per the notification from the Bar Council of India, the legal community has participate in the agitation, albeit in a peaceful manner adding that, we strongly condemn the incident of Jaipur and Chandigarh”.

Condemning the cause, the RBA has also pressed the administration to put an inquiry committee into this matter and to take necessary actions against the respective policemen.

“Day by day the police people are showing their ‘gundaraj’ over lawyers and their deeds are compared to those days of British Raj in this independent country which is highly condemnable”, said another advocate Rajkishore Pradhan. A rally was also organized by the lawyers of RBA from court premises to the ADM office holding protest.

Other members of RBA such as Baisnavab Charan Maharana, vice-president, Sadananda Sahu, general secretary, Prasant Maharana, joint secretary, Sarat Panda, treasurer, Muralidhar Parija, senior advocate, Santosh Tripathy, Anup Lakra and other lawyers were present on the protest.
