In a decisive move, legal proceedings at the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court will come to a halt on Tuesday. This action is a result of the Avadh Bar Association’s decision to boycott work in protest against the Advocates Act Amendment Bill.
The decision was made during a meeting on Monday presided over by the president of the Bar Association, R.D. Shahi, and the secretary, Manoj Kumar Dwivedi. The meeting addressed several critical issues, including the proposal to rotate judges every two months to expedite case resolution.
Concerns were also raised about the increasing backlog of cases at the Lucknow Bench. The president noted that the shortage of judges has been causing delays in case resolutions, leading to significant inconvenience for lawyers and their clients.
As a result of the boycott, no judicial work will be conducted today, potentially delaying thousands of cases. The lawyers have made it clear that they will continue their protest until their concerns are adequately addressed by the authorities.
