Lawyers continue strike

Excelsior Correspondent
Jammu, Sept 6 : J&K High Court Bar Association, Jammu continued its agitation on Tuesday with the demand for construction of multi storeyed building in the Janipur Court Complex and similar facilities in other districts of Jammu province.
The lawyers abstained from work in the High Court, District Courts, Tribunals, Commissions & all Revenue Courts in Jammu today also.
The President of the J&K High Court Bar Association, M.K. Bhardwaj has said that the Government has no valid reason for not conceding the genuine demand projected by the J&K High Court Bar Association, for construction of multi storeyed complex within the court premises where Registration Authorities, CAT, AFT, DRT, Tribunals, Commissions and all Revenue Courts can be housed.
This facility is in the public interest and also to facilitate the lawyers. Bhardwaj further added that the Government is expected to provide funds for the construction of multi storeyed building at the earliest in the interest of general public.
