Bar Council of Delhi Forms Committee to Draft Advocates Protection Act

The Bar Council of Delhi has established a special committee to draft the Advocates Protection Act for the safety of lawyers practising in the national capital who are registered with the lawyers’ body. 

The move comes after recent attacks on lawyers, both inside and outside the courts. 

The legislation aims to be enacted by the Delhi Government, and the newly-formed Special Committee, led by K.C. Mittal, former Chairman of the Bar Council of Delhi, will draft the comprehensive plan.
