Advocates to boycott courts from today

Srikakulam: The advocates across the district will abstain from duties from Monday protesting the State government's move to shift the High Court to Kurnool. In a press release on Sunday,

District Bar Association president Sistu Ramesh and general secretary G S K Prasad and State Bar Council member Gedela Vasudeva Rao said that all advocates from across the district were demanding to establish High Court in Visakhapatnam if it was shifted from Amaravati.
