Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Aug 31: The work remained suspended in the High Court and all other courts and Tribunals on Wednesday due to the agitation of J&K High Court Bar Association, Jammu in support of demand for construction of multi storied building within the Janipura court premises for housing various judicial and quasi-judicial institutions like CAT, Registration authorities, Consumer Courts, AFT, DRT and similar other Tribunals.
The J&K High Court Bar Association, Jammu in consultation with other Bar Associations of Jammu province has demanded similar facilities at District and Munsiff courts across the Jammu province.
“This demand of the lawyers is for the benefit of general public as well as the lawyers, as having different institutions under one roof is a great convenience to all the concerned. This very genuine demand projected by the J&K High Court Bar Association, Jammu since long should have been conceded by the Government at the very outset”, said President M K Bhardwaj.
The Bar Association has expressed its displeasure and anguish over the non responsive attitude of the Government towards the genuine issue.
