Lawyers at the Calcutta High Court today abstained from the court of Justice Girish Gupta alleging that he has misbehaved with lawyers.
"Owing to misbehaviour and insult meted out to advocates for a pretty long time, we have taken a resolution to abstain and refrain from attending the court of Justice Girish Gupta," Calcutta High Court Bar Association secretary Rana Mukherjee said.
"We have written to Chief Justice Manjula Chellur that lawyers will not attend his court till he apologises to the Bar (lawyers)," Mukherjee said.
