Agitating lawyers of the Rajasthan High Court here today decided to suspended their strike following assurance from Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje that no committee will be formed to look into the demand for a new bench in Udaipur, the president of Rajasthan HC Lawyers Association Kuldeep Mathur said.
The advocates from Jodhpur, who have been on strike since May 21, would resume work in the court from tomorrow. The decision was taken after a general house meeting of the advocates at the Library Hall of the court on this morning.
After the meeting, Mathur said, "The strike has been suspended after the assurance from the chief minister that no committee would be formed with regard to the circuit bench at Udaipur at the cost of the interest of the principal seat of the Rajasthan High Court at Jodhpur."
He, however, warned, "If anything happens against our interest in the future, we would resume the strike in order to protect the identity of Jodhpur as the judicial capital of the state."
