In Jodhpur, both the Rajasthan High Court Lawyers' Association and the Rajasthan High Court Advocates' Association announced a strike till Sunday, demanding the removal of the acting Chief Justice from his judicial and administrative duties.
The Jodhpur lawyers aim to write to the President, Prime Minister, CJI, and the senior-most judges of the Supreme Court Collegium, demanding removal of Sharma, appointment of a permanent Chief Justice, and discontinuation of the targeted filing system.
