Update: 2010-09-15 00:00 GMT

GUWAHATI, Aug 31 - Expressing resentment and anguish over non-resumption of the physical courts in the State, the All Assam Lawyers� Association (AALA) has written to the five-judge committee explaining the miserable condition of the lawyers and litigant public alike.

The apex body of 49 bar associations of the State said it cannot remain a mute spectator to the acute hardship of the fellow advocates due to no work in the court and that it would be reluctantly compelled to launch a second phase of lawyers� agitation for their survival.

The advocates� body also expressed its resentment at the �unilateral� decision of the judges� committee to continue with the earlier arrangement of virtual court till September 5. Despite an understanding during the stakeholders� meeting on August 17, the opinions and suggestions of the stakeholders were ignored, causing widespread resentment among the lawyers and the public, AALA added.
