Hyderabad: The Federation of Bar Associations on Friday decided to continue its agitation till the High Court was bifurcated between AP and TS, the provisional list of subordinate judicial officers is withdrawn and the suspension of judicial staff revoked.
Federation president M. Jitender Reddy said that as part of their agitation, protest programmes will be held on July 4 at Ambedkar statues across the state, religious prayers would be organised on July 5 and on July 7 a ‘jail bharo’ would be organised across TS.
He urged advocates not to believe in rumours spread by vested interests that the federation had withdrawn its struggle. He said that a signature campaign would be organised in support of their demands on July 8.
The BJP Telangana Legal Cell has also called for a state-level dharna at Indira Park here on July 5, demanding immediate revocation of the suspension of judicial staff.
The Telangana Advocates’ Joint Action Committee held a silent protest at the Gun Park in the city demanding resolution of the demands of the advocates and judicial officers. Several retired subordinate judicial officers also participated in the protest. TAJAC co-convener T. Sriranga Rao alleged before the media at the Gun Park that the High Court was responsible for the present situation.
