Patna, (Bihar Times): Over 80,000 lawyers of the Patna high court, Central Administrative Tribunal and different district courts on Thursday abstained from the judicial work in protest against the murder of the assistant public prosecutor of Begusarai district, Ram Naresh Sharma, on the eve of Diwali on November 8.

The lawyers sought the arrest of the culprits involved in the murder, payment of Rs 25 lakh to the family members of late Ram Naresh Sharma and government job to one member of the family. The strike badly affected works throughout the state.

The Bihar State Bar Council and other lawyers’ organizations have asked the state government to immediately give gun licence to all the lawyers who have applied for it.
