"Close to 80,000 lawyers in the state were on the strike today against the proposed amendments to Advocates (Amendments) Bill, which is anti-advocate," Vice President of the Rajasthan Bar Association, Rajendra Singh Raghav said.
He said that the work in all the courts were affected due to the one-day strike called by the Bar Council of India (BCI).
The BCI, the apex body of lawyers, had given a call for the strike across the country, saying the recommendations in the Bill were against their interests.
