Shocked by the resignation of Justice Jayant Patel, the second senior-most judge of the Karnataka High Court, the Karnataka Bar Council on Wednesday condemned the lack of transparency in the appointment of judges and the collegium system, while resolving to abstain from work on October 4 as a mark of protest. The Bar Council had called an emergent meeting to consider demands of its members and to raise an "outcry in unison and displeasure expressed by the legal fraternity over Justice Jayant Patel, the senior-most judge of the Karnataka High Court, resigning for over denial of his rightful and deserved consideration of being appointed or elevated to the Supreme Court or as the Chief Justice to the High Court". In the wake of Justice Patel's resignation, the Bar said it was "greatly disappointed and perturbed by the treatment being meted out by the executive at the Government of the Centre in dealing in non-appointment of judges to the Karnataka High Court, resulting in reducing the strength of judges to 25 from the sanctioned strength of 62".
