After the meeting with the District Judge and the SSP Prabhat Kumar, the ad hoc committee of the District Bar Association decided to resume work on April 15.

April 14 is a holiday due to Ambedkar Jayanti.

However, earlier in the day, all the advocates of the District Bar Association Jamshedpur abstained from judicial work.

Later, the advocates held a meeting in the library hall under the leadership of Lala Ajit Kumar Ambast, Chairman of the Ad-hoc Committee, District Bar Association Jamshedpur.

Following the meetings, the ad-hoc committee members decided that from April 15, 2023, all the advocates will return to work.
