K'taka HC lawyers go on hunger strike over judicial vacancy
Karnataka High Court lawyers on Monday launched a week-long hunger strike over the delay in appointment of judges. Karnataka's former Advocate General BV Acharya has claimed that out of a total sanctioned strength of 62 judges, there are only 24 appointed judges in the high court. "There are 24 judges to oversee 3,20,000 cases. This is humanly impossible," he added.
