The Punjab & Haryana High Court Bar Association in Chandigarh has called for a strike. It directed members not to appear in any case, either physically or virtually.
The decision comes after police registered an FIR and suspended the licences of two accused lawyers. The Association warned that any member who appears in court during the strike will face immediate expulsion from membership.
The Executive Committee will meet today at 11:00 p.m. to decide the next steps. Leaders of the Association urged members to follow the strike call and stand united.
“All members must strictly follow the decision. Any violation will lead to strict action,” the Association said.
In case of emergencies, lawyers have been asked to contact the Bar Association office. The strike is expected to disrupt proceedings in the Punjab & Haryana High Court for the day.
