Jharkhand bar council strike because too much violence against advocates

According to a resolution passed yesterday (9 April) by the Jharkhand state bar council, advocates in the state were called to go on strike today to protest attacks against advocates and “demand adequate security” from the police.

According to the council, one advocate was murdered in “broad day light”, and recently there was an “armed attack” on another outside of Jamshedpur Civil Court.

There was also a complaint from a senior member of the local bar that “the elderly lady advocate” was summoned to the police station, where the police officers used “unacceptable language against her” and threatened her with extortion.
