Strike by lawyers of Cuttuck enters sixth day, hampering judicial activities

The strike by lawyers of Cuttack city entered the sixth day on Monday, hampering judicial activities in all courts, tribunals as well as Orissa High Court.

The lawyers are abstaining from judicial work in courts in Cuttack city as part of their agitation. The lawyers are on strike over an alleged assault on an advocate by policemen here last Tuesday.

"Our agitation will continue till the erring policemen and a private person, against whom FIRs have been registered, are arrested," said Orissa High Court Bar Association president Srikant Kumar Naik after a general body meeting of the association here Monday afternoon.
