Work was affected in the lower courts of Jodhpur and the high court here as advocates launched a one-day strike against Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s remark suggesting “corruption” in the judiciary.
Gehlot had on Wednesday suggested that some judges might be reading out orders drafted by the lawyers. “Corruption is rampant in the judiciary today,” he said. However, a day later, Gehlot said he has always respected the judiciary and his statement did not reflect his “personal opinion”.
Offended by the statement, lawyers had announced the daylong strike across all courts in Jodhpur, where the main bench of the Rajasthan High Court is located.
