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With the strike withdrawn, normal court proceedings are expected to resume from Thursday.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.

Student groups have categorically stated that no academic or administrative activity will resume until the university formally releases the Senate election timetable. Their rigid stand persisted even after the Punjab and Haryana High Court urged students to return to classes for at least seven days before the court could intervene further.

According to the university’s academic calendar, departmental exams are scheduled to begin around November 18, 2025, with several date sheets already published. However, campus tensions intensified as discussions on Senate elections resurfaced, prompting mass mobilisation by student unions. A joint meeting of various student organisations has been scheduled for November 20 to chart a unified course of action.

The conflict traces back to the Central Government’s October 28 notification dissolving the University Senate and Syndicate—a move that triggered widespread outrage before being withdrawn. Despite verbal assurances from the administration, student bodies continue to demand a written, time-bound commitment to conducting Senate elections, keeping the standoff unresolved.
