Members of the Ganjam Bar Association on Tuesday boycotted
court work demanding establishment of a permanent Bench of the Odisha High Court
in Brahmapur.
The members also demanded that the Justice CR Pal Commission
report on the demand for permanent HC Benches in different parts of the State
be made public. “We denounce this report as we understand that it has not
directly recommended establishment of a High Court Bench in Brahmapur,” said
Bar president Basant Panda, adding, “We will continue our agitation till our
demand is fulfilled.”
The members of the Bar including vice-president Siba Prasad
Mishra, secretary Rama Prasad Panda and joint secretary Karunakara Panigrahi
and senior lawyers like Prafulla Jagannath Padhy, Krushna Chandra Panda and
Ashok Das staged a dharna in front of the court here.Earlier, the lawyers had
decided that they would intensify the agitation during last four days of every
month. On Tuesday, they ended their court boycott agitation and would join work
from Wednesday.
