On Wednesday, a section of Advocates barged into Calcutta High Court Judge Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay's courtroom & raised a ruckus. Heading a single-Judge bench, Justice Gangopadhyay had earlier complained about a series of stays by a division bench on his orders relating to irregularities in the recruitment of staff in state-run schools of the state.
One group of lawyers called for a boycott of Justice Gangopadhyay's Court, while another group opposed the other's demand. The protest began as soon as the Judge took his seat in the courtroom.
Justice Gangopadhyay asked those willing to boycott his Court to leave. "What's your problem with this court?" he said, while the other group kept repeating there was no decision in the Calcutta High Court Bar Association to boycott his Court.
A resolution signed by 10 Lawyers had resented the manner in which Justice Gangopadhyay "had questioned the judicial decisions by the appeal court", prompting four division benches to recuse from hearing appeals on state-level selection test matters.
