Organisers claimed that more than 10,000 Patna high court lawyers went on strike on Friday to protest the lack of seating arrangements for them in court, reported The Hindu:

lawyers who have to keep standing or moving throughout the day in thecourt because they do not have a chair and table to sit and work inside the Court premises. There are about 10,000 lawyers practicing in the Patna High Court but seating arrangements are available for only 3,000, Mukesh Kant, young lawyer of the court told The Hindu.
