Court prohibiting strike by lawyers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a very serious problem, it needs to worked out,&#8221; the bench said.<\/p>\n<p>The courts oral observation was made during hearing of a PIL by NGO Common Cause through advocate Prashant Bhushan, which has approached the apex court against the recent strike of lawyers in the Delhi High Court and District Courts on the issue of pecuniary jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, senior advocate Ram Jethmalani, appearing for the Bar, said &#8220;not to work is also a constitutional right&#8230;&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, said that
