PNS | SAMBALPUR
HITS: 7
Lawyers in eight districts of western Odisha have geared up for a
total bandh in their respective districts on Tuesday after the Sambalpur
District Bar Association failed to elicit a positive response from the State
Government over its demand to arrest Collector Mrinalini Darswal within the
deadline of May 7.
The Sambalpur District Bar, which met on Sunday to decide
on its next course of action, gave the bandh call for all 10 western districts,
to which all other district Bars have responded positively.
The bandh is supposed to severely affect public life and
disrupt vehicular communication.
The lawyers-Collector row in Sambalpur has got intensified
despite a Crime Branch inquiry ordered by the the Odisha Government. The
lawyers have rejected the CB probe and, in stead, demanded a judicial inquiry
into the April 23 incident while persisting with their stir demanding the
Collector’s arrest.
While the Orissa High Court Bar Association and the
Bhubaneswar Bar Association have expressed solidarity with their Sambalpur
fraternity by resorting to token cease-work, they appear to be in no mood to be
carried away by the stubborn attitude of the Sambalpur Bar. Lawyers in the
coastal districts are attending courts as usual, not bothered by the
happenings.
