Prayagraj: Taking a serious note of the Kanpur Bar Association’s (KBA) continued strike, a seven-judge bench of Allahabad High Court on Thursday directed the striking lawyers to resume their work forthwith. The high court further directed the KBA office-bearers to appear before it on April 7 (today) at 10 a.m.
Issuing notices to the KBA office-bearers for boycotting the entire work in the courts, a bench comprising Chief Justice Pritinker Diwaker and Justices Sunita Agarwal, Surya Prakash Kesarwani, Manoj Kumar Gupta, Anjani Kumar Mishra, KJ Thaker and MC Tripathi observed, “In the present case, despite sincere efforts being made by this court, the lawyers are adamant not to perform their work in the court and their actions are creating hurdles in dispensation of justice, which is nothing but a sort of contempt of courts.”
“In the given facts and circumstances of the case, we feel it appropriate to issue notices to Naresh Chandra Tripathi, president of Kanpur Bar Association, Anurag Srivastava, general secretary of Kanpur Bar Association, Ravindra Sharma, president of the Lawyers’ Association, Kanpur Nagar and Sharad Kumar Shukla, general secretary of the Lawyers’ Association, Kanpur Nagar,” said the bench.
The bench added, “The Kanpur Bar Association and the Lawyers’ Association, Kanpur Nagar are on continuous strike. Initially, they were only boycotting the court of district and sessions judge, Kanpur Nagar, but later on, they are boycotting the entire courts of Kanpur Judgeship since March 25, 2023, hampering the entire judicial work.”
While issuing notices to the office-bearers of the bar association, the court directed that the notices will be served through the commissioner of police, Kanpur Nagar, and directed the office-bearers to remain present personally before the high court on April 7 at 10 a.m.
During the court proceedings, UP advocate general Ajay Kumar Misra assured that the local administration would help in all sorts of manner.
As an interim measure, the court directed that the lawyers shall resume their work forthwith and in case any hindrance is created by any of the lawyer or office-bearers, the same would be viewed seriously.
“The district magistrate and the commissioner of police, Kanpur Nagar are also directed to affix this order on the notice board of both the Bar Associations and other conspicuous places inside the court premises,” added the court.
The court said that in the given facts and circumstances of the case, the chairman of the Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh is also asked to assist the court and to remain present before the court on Friday at 10 a.m.
