5,000 lawyers go on strike demanding separate Haryana HC
Nearly 5,000 advocates in Gurugram went on a strike on Wednesday demanding a separate high court for Haryana. Currently, all cases pertaining to Haryana and Punjab are heard in a common court in Chandigarh. Adding that Haryana has more cases for litigation than Punjab, the advocates said even smaller states like Meghalaya got separate high courts after a 2013 announcement.
