Lawyers across country to strike work tomorrow

March 30, 2017 21:45

Lawyers have decided to abstain from judicial work in all courts across the country tomorrow in protest against a proposed Bill that bars advocates from holding agitation and makes them liable to compensate litigants if they go on strike.

The Bar Council of India, the apex body of advocates, has given a call for the strike across the country, saying the recommendations were against their interests.

BCI Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra said lawyers practising in the Supreme Court have been kept out of the strike, but they will show their solidarity with the striking lawyers by wearing white band on their arms.
