Patna, (Bihar Times): As the lawyers of Patna High Court and various civil courts on Wednesday decided to continue their strike indefinitely until their demands were met a group of lawyers blocked the busy Bailey Road throwing the traffic out of gear.
Wednesday was the last day of the three-day strike by
the High Court while the Patna civil court has been on
strike for last about three weeks.
The decision came after a meeting of all the three Bar
associations in the High Court premises. They decided
to continue their strike till the state government
revoked its decision of hiking the court fees.

refused to yield to the lawyers demand. The agitation
