The work remained suspended in the High Court and all other courts and Tribunals today also.
The J&K High Court Bar Association, Jammu in consultation with other Bar Associations of Jammu province has demanded similar facilities at District and Munsiff courts level also in the Jammu province. This demand of the lawyers is in the public interest for the benefit of the general public as well as the lawyers, as having different institutions under one roof is a great convenience to all concerned. This very genuine demand projected by the J&K High Court Bar Association, Jammu since long should had been conceded by the L.G. administration at the very outset. The Bar Association has expressed its displeasure and anguish over the non-responsive attitude of the Government towards the genuine issues raised by the Bar Association and supported by the entire society of Jammu province when the massive response was given to the Jammu Bandh call on 29th August 2022.
In the meanwhile it has been decided to hold General House meeting of the J&K High Court Bar Association, Jammu tomorrow i.e. 01-09-2022 ( Thursday) to discuss current situation of the agitation and the future course of action.
