The law practitioners had boycotted the debate on Wednesday as they were angry after Jabra did not appear in the court on Tuesday and left the hospital

.Most of the cases were not heard on the first day of the round. The judges left the bench yesterday and sat for discussion after the legal practitioner raised a serious question that the leadership of the court was vacant.
