Delhi High Court Bar Association Calls for Black Ribbon Protest Against LG’s Virtual Deposition Order

The Delhi High Court Bar Association (DHCBA) on Wednesday asked lawyers to wear black ribbons in court to protest Delhi LG VK Saxena’s notification designating all 226 police stations as venues for police officers to depose virtually.

The lawyers’ body said the ribbons should be worn until the August 13 notification is withdrawn. 

The move follows a citywide strike by district bar associations since August 21. 

A PIL challenging the notification is also pending before the High Court. The bar has termed the order detrimental to fair trial rights under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS).
