Lawyers of the Orissa High Court today abstained from work protesting against what they called "illegal" arrest of advocate Devashis Panda by CBI in a chit fund case.
Panda, a former Additional Government Advocate (AGA) was arrested by CBI yesterday for his alleged involvement in unfair activities of a chit fund company.
In view of Rath Yatra on Wednesday, the lawyers have decided to meet again on Friday to decide further course of action, said a resolution passed by the HC Bar Association.
The Association also decided to request other bar bodies of the state to observe one-day token protest on Friday to condemn the arrest of Panda and the action of CBI.
