Senior Advocate of Rajasthan High Court Sukhdev Vyas passed away on Tuesday.

The Senior Counsel collapsed in the High Court premises.

As a mark of respect, lawyers have abstained from work for the day. The Election Officer Chandra Shekhar Kotwani wrote to the Registrar General of the High Court, making a communication to this effect.

"In this moment of grief, the entire members of the Bar as a mark of respect to departed soul will not work in the Court today," the letter read.

Therefore, lawyers would not be able to appear before the High Court and subordinate Courts as a mark of respect, the communication said.
