Calcutta HC: Lawyers on vacation as Judges and litigants suffer
- 7 years ago
Lawyers stayed away from Calcutta High Court on Wednesday as part of a three-day ceasework citing hot and humid conditions, causing harrassment to thousands of litigants and prompting the Chief Justice to term the advocates' action as "irritating and painful". All the court rooms were open on Wednesday with the judges in their seats, but absence of lawyers led to cases not being taken up for hearing.
