Perhaps taking a leaf out of the book of the Gauhati High Court Bar Association, lawyers of the High Court Bar Association of Orissa continue to boycott the court of Chief Justice DH Waghela..Advocates have been abstaining from the Chief Justice’s court since Tuesday, as confirmed by lawyers in the High Court. Although members of the Bar Association are unwilling to speak to the media, Bar & Bench has been informed that a decision on whether to continue the boycott will be taken once court resumes after the Durga Puja holidays..The reasons behind the boycott remain unclear; one lawyer claims that the Bar is irked by certain disparaging comments made by Chief Justice Waghela, who was transferred from the Karnataka High Court in April and took oath in June..Last month, lawyers of the High Court Bar abstained from court to protest the state government’s decision to abolish the Orissa Administrative Tribunal..Image taken from here.
