New Delhi, Feb 10 (IANS) Judicial work was paralysed in six district court complexes here Monday after city lawyers went on strike to protest shifting of family courts.

The coordination committee of the district courts had Sunday decided that lawyers will abstain from work Feb 10 “in support of the Shahdara Bar Association against the shifting of family courts outside the court premises”.
The strike paralysed all proceedings in the district courts complexes at Patiala House, Tis Hazari, Rohini, Dwarka, Saket and Karkardooma.
