Cuttack: The Orissa High Court will resume work from May 13, officials said on Thursday.
The court was closed on May 2 and 3 in view of the IMD forecast about the extremely severe cyclonic storm Fani. The High Court premises along with the district court and Bar Association campus sustained damage as strong winds swept across the city leaving behind a trail of devastation after the cyclone made landfall in Puri on May 3. The brute Fani had also ripped apart the flag atop of the court.
