The lawyers here boycotted courts for four days here since Monday, reiterating their demand for setting up of a permanent Bench of the Orissa High Court in Brahmapur.
The Ganjam lawyers’ Association held a demonstration for the cause. Notably, to press for the demand, the lawyers have been boycotting the court the last four days of every month.
The members alleged that though their agitation is on for a year but the State Government is not taking any steps for setting up a permanent bench. They threatened that the boycott will continue till the demand is fulfiled.
Among others, association president P Narasinha Patro, secretary Pitabas Panda, VP Minati Rath, joint secretary Madan Patro, Sisir Padhy, Sudhanshu Panda, Nirmal Sahu, Manoj Patnaik, Jyoti Prasad Chottaray, Karunakar Panigrahi and Rabi Panigrahi were present.
