Hyderabad: Lawyers from the Telangana region continued with their protest at the Andhra Pradesh High Court today. They have been demanding 42 per cent reservation in the appointment of law officers in courts for people from Telangana.

No work took place at the High Court today.

The protests have continued despite the state government constituting a cabinet sub-committee to look into the demands of the lawyers.  

On Tuesday too, hundreds of advocates had raised slogans in support of their demands seeking 42 per cent quota for the posts of Government Pleader, Assistant Government Pleader and Standing Council in Telangana region. They also held demonstrations in front of the High Court gate and staged road-blockades.
