The decision came after the government addressed all demands raised by the Bar Association. Chandigarh Bar Association honorary secretary Gagandeep Jammu confirmed the development on Wednesday.

He said authorities have taken concrete steps against officials of CIA-1, Hisar, following allegations of an attack on a lawyer. The concerned CIA-1 officers have now been named in the FIR. Police have also added relevant legal provisions, including sections of the Arms Act.

As part of the action, officials transferred the concerned SHO to police lines. Senior authorities have also initiated departmental proceedings against him. The Bar Association described these steps as satisfactory and in line with their demands.

Gagandeep Jammu stated that the assurances restored faith in due process. He urged all advocates to return to court work without further delay.

The strike had disrupted judicial functioning across Punjab and Haryana. The Bar Association had earlier announced a statewide protest, demanding strict action against the accused officers.

With the strike withdrawn, normal court proceedings are expected to resume from Thursday. The Association said it will continue to monitor the case closely. It also stressed that any future lapse would invite renewed protest.

The case began when a petitioner highlighted the rampant misuse of Oxytocin, a hormone meant strictly for medical purposes. The petition claimed the injection was being used illegally to enhance the growth of poultry chicks, increase the size of vegetables, and was even available at grocery shops for commercial misuse—posing a serious threat to public health. The court noted that although a ban was ordered on 6 September 2013, authorities failed to enforce it, and even the contempt petition filed in 2013 saw no effective administrative response.

The High Court asked officials to clarify why no action was taken against those responsible for violating the ban and what steps are now being initiated. The bench observed that uncontrolled use of Oxytocin can harm both animals and humans, warning that strict legal action will follow if the administration continues to ignore the issue.
