The coordination committee of all the district court bar associations of the capital has announced a strike on May 14. The committee has taken this decision in protest against various issues related to the district courts of Delhi and the continuous neglect of advocates. In this regard, the committee has issued a circular and appealed to all the advocates to unite and participate in the movement.
According to the coordination committee, such decisions are being taken by the Delhi High Court and various committees related to it regarding the infrastructure, facilities and other administrative matters of the district courts in which the opinions and suggestions of the bar associations are not being given importance.
The committee said that thousands of lawyers and lakhs of litigants working in district courts are facing many practical problems every day, but the issues raised from time to time by the bar associations are being continuously ignored. In such a situation, the bar associations have decided to lodge a protest, calling it a matter related to their dignity and rights.
Chairman of the coordination committee, Dr. D.K. Sharma and Secretary General Vijay Bishnoi said that this is not just a protest but a collective initiative to maintain the participation and respect of the Bar in the justice system.
