Ara : Members of Ara Bar Association abstained from court works on March 29, 2017, in protest against alleged misbehaviour with an advocate by a Judicial Magistrate. Advocate Kamla Kant Singh, in a communication to Ara Bar Association on March 27, alleged that ACJM 13 Amit Raj had misbehaved with him.

Ara Bar Association had requested the District and Session Judge Arun Kumar Jha to take action against the ACJM by March 29 morning and when no action was taken on the matter, Ara Bar Association decided to abstain from judicial work. Later, a meeting of the Ara Bar Association was held under the chairmanship of Ramadhar Singh, president, Ara Bar Association, and resolved to decide on further course of action if the DJ did not take appropriate action against the ACJM by 10 am on March 30.
