Proceedings were disrupted at the district courts here as lawyers abstained from work after noon in protest against the filling of foundation pits for the construction of chambers and a canteen.
They also raised slogans against the administration.
A protesting advocate, Omvir Morta, said a portion on the courts premises was dug up on Monday as per a resolution passed by the newly elected Bar Association for the construction of lawyers' chambers and a canteen.
Upon getting information, the administration filled the pits in the night due which the advocates staged the protest.
The protesting lawyers also submitted a memorandum addressed to the district magistrate with regard to their demand.
When contacted, District Magistrate Ajay Shankar Pandey said a committee would be constituted to find a solution to the issue.
