8,000 court employees go on strike
Pledging solidarity with the agitating judges in Telangana, around 8,000 employees working in various courts and other judicial departments across the state on Friday went on an indefinite strike, paralysing the functioning of courts.
New Delhi
The employees are seeking withdrawal of the list of provisional allocation of judicial officers between AP and Telangana and High Court bifurcation, among other demands. All India Judicial Employees Association General Secretary B Lakshma Reddy said the employees in all the 10 districts held demonstrations.
“We demand immediate roll back of the provisional allocation list of judges between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. We also demand that the High Court should be bifurcated. The strike will go on until our demands are met,” Reddy told PTI. Reddy and eight other principal members of the association were placed under suspension by the High Court on Thursday.
Around 200 judges from Telangana are on a mass leave in protest against suspension of the 11 judicial officers amid the ongoing stir over the provisional allocation of judicial officers from AP to Telangana courts.
