CUTTACK: The Orissa High Court Bar Association has suspended Advocate General Ashok Mohanty from its membership till further orders. In a meeting, the Bar Association resolved to issue showcause notice to Mohanty on the requisition received from some members. The suspension will be in force till a final decision is taken in the matter. It was alleged that some of the office- bearers of the Association had gone to the residence of Mohanty to request him to attend a cricket match of the Association as a guest on January 26 but they were misbehaved by him. Thereafter, upon a requisition made by some members, a meeting was called on January 24 and a resolution was passed. Contacted, Mohanty said some of the office-bearers had gone to his house and they requested him to attend the cricket match on January 26. Mohanty said he declined to accept the request on personal grounds and there was no truth in the allegation of misbehaviour.
