Work at Calcutta HC halted for 4 weeks over lawyers' strike
Work at Calcutta High Court has been halted for over four weeks after lawyers' associations announced a strike demanding the appointment of judges to fill vacancies. As many as 39 judge posts are reportedly vacant against the sanctioned strength of 72. The associations plan to meet Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad over the issue.
