Stating that it had little doubt that the conduct of the lawyers at Orissa, who have been boycotting the Chief Justice's court, amounted to contempt, the Supreme Court today issued notices to the Chairman of the Orissa State Bar Council and the President of the Orissa High Court Bar Association, with directions to appear in person. The Chairman of the Orissa State Bar Council and President of the Orissa High Court Bar Association will also appear in person", the bench of Justices S K Kaul and K M Joseph said. In today's proceedings, the Supreme Court expressed its concern over the baseless strike initiated by the Advocates over Collegium's decisions and said "This can hardly be a ground for the lawyers to abstain from work".
