Nearly 10,000 lawyers of the Patna High Court on Friday abstained from work to protest against the November two blasts at courts in Uttar Pradesh that left several people, including advocates, dead and injured.
The strike was called by the Coordination Committee of the three associations of the advocates, the convenor of the protest Yogesh Chandra Verma said.
A meeting of the Coordination Committee on Thursday had adopted a resolution asking the Bihar State Bar Council to request the Bar Council of India to decide a date for a day's token strike against the blasts in Lucknow, Varanasi and Faizabad.
The Committee termed the blasts as an assault on the judiciary.
