The Orissa High Court on Tuesday adjourned its hearings of the PILs pertaining to police-lawyers faceoff to Thursday when the State Crime Branch police again failed to submit final reports of the four criminal cases arising out of the August 28 police attack on an advocate here.
A Division Bench headed by Chief Justice KS Jhaveri had last week asked Crime Branch IG Arun Bothra to submit the final reports. Appearing before the court on Tuesday, the IG sought some more time to comply with the HC order. The court, however, allowed him only two more days.
Meanwhile lawyers of the city, who are on strike since August 29 demanding arrest of the erring policemen, have decided to meet again on Wednesday to chalk out their further course of action.
