Members of the Parlakhemundi Bar Association on Wednesday began an indefinite cease-work agitation here demanding immediate appointment of an Additional District Judge (ADJ) for Gajapati.
They lamented that while a notification has been issued for transfer of the incumbent ADJ, no mention has been made regarding appointment of a new ADJ. As per norms, the notification ought to mention name of the new ADJ, they said. They said people would face problems to get their cases disposed off if an ADJ is not appointed soon.
Due to the agitation, works in all courts here was severely disrupted.
The agitation led by Parlakhemundi Bar Association President Ramnath Mishra was attended by vice-president Shasank Sekhar Sabat, secretary Kashinath Das, l Ramgopal Rao, Pantala Prasad Rao, Harikrushna Patra, P Bishwanathan Udayachandra Rao and Radhanath Guru among others.
