Cuttack: The Orissa High Court on Thursday reserved its order on the bail petition of the lawyers who have been arrested in connection with vandalism in a court in Sambalpur.
The High Court heard the bail application of 30 lawyers for second time and reserved its order. Earlier, the petitioners had moved the Supreme Court after the High Court rejected their bail petitions. After the apex court refused to entertain the bail application, they filed fresh petitions in the High Court.
Following their arrest, they had filed for bail in the district and sessions court in Sambalpur which had also set it aside.
On last Saturday, some lawyers of the High Court sat on a hunger strike on the court premises demanding hearing of bail applications of the Sambalpur advocates.
