JAMMU, Dec 13: After 43 days’ indefinite strike, J&K High Court Bar Association Jammu today decided to resume work from December 18.
The decision was taken in the general house meeting of the Bar held in the conference hall of District Court Complex, Janipur under the chairmanship of its president Abhinav Sharma.
The general house was convened on two issues— the proposal given by the Government with respect to the location of Sub Registrars in the JDA building where the J&K Special Tribunal is housed as well as the documents presented for registration before the Sub Registrar shall be drawn and drafted by the Advocates only and on the suo moto show cause notice issued by the Division Bench on 11-12-2019.
Many members including senior lawyers expressed their views on these issues and after threadbare discussion it was unanimously decided to call off the indefinite strike as the demand of shifting of the Sub Registrars to the building of JDA situated at Janipur more or less satisfy the inconvenience which was being faced by the Advocates as well as general public in getting their documents registered.
They were of the view that the suo moto notice issued by the Division Bench of J&K High Court to the concerned Advocates needs to be contested by Bar unitedly and all the members of the Bar Association stand behind these members.
The J&K High Court Bar Association, Jammu has further decided to call off the on going agitation on the assurance given by the administration of J&K Union Territory in the meeting held on 10-12-2019 and will resume their works in all the Courts including High Court from 18th December 2019.
