The Bar Council of India (BCI) has called for all lawyers in the country to abstain from work on Monday, 11 March 2013, “in protest against the brutal assault on Lawyers in Jaipur and Chandigarh”.
The notification on the BCI’s website adds:
“The Lawyers all across the country (except the Lawyers of Delhi who have already observed the abstention on 7.3.13) should abstain from the work on 11.3.13 in support of Lawyers of Rajasthan and Chandigarh. The protest should be peaceful and in most dignified way.”
Legally India re-reported yesterday that lawyers in Jaipur were protesting for long-pending housing project and personal allowance demands, while Chandigarh lawyers protested at the Punjab & Haryana high court to support of 20 advocates against whom a case was registered for allegedly manhandling a police officer.
The government’s law minister Ashwani Kumar stated yesterday ago that over 30 million cases were now pending across courts, with 66,569 pending in the Supreme Court of India.

If lawyers cannot get things done legally what the hell are we lawyers for !
Ex Capt Harish Uppal v. Union of India
K. John Koshy & Ors. vs. Dr. Tarakeshwar Prasad Shaw
I am going to the Court on Monday the 11th March 2013. Does not matter if the opposing counsel shows up or not. The case must go on !
Strike => The loosers are litigants who have paid the lawyers to represent them. Why should they loose in the fight between lawyers and police ?
