New CJ Justice Sarin being sworn in Thursday
After a lag of nearly three months the lawyers today resumed their work at the Jammu wing of Jammu and Kashmir High Court.
Under the banner of Bar Association Jammu, the lawyers had been playing a lead role on the Amarnath Shrine land agitation which culminated on August 31 at a note of victory.
Bar members today resumed work after about three months. The advocates today appeared in all the Courts including High Court Jammu Wing, District Courts and Tribunals.
On June 9, 2008, Courts including High Court closed for summer vacation and High Court reopened on June 30, 2008. On the same day the lawyers suspended their work on the call of Bar Association Jammu and thereafter the members of the Bar Association abstained from Courts in connection with the agitation regarding Shri Amarnath Ji land row. After the victory the BAJ decided to call off their strike and resume work. On September1, 2008 BAJ celebrated victory day and today on September 2, 2008 resumed work.
Meanwhile, a grand farewell cum dinner was hosted to the outgoing Chief Justice KS Radhakrishnan of Jammu and Kashmir High Court on his transfer to the Gujarat High Court by the Jammu District Judicial Officers.
