J&K Bar Associations Declare Court Boycott in Protest Against Pahalgam Terror Attack

The Jammu & Kashmir High Court Bar Associations of Srinagar and Jammu have announced a complete suspension of court work on April 23, 2025, in protest against the terrorist attack in Pahalgam’s Baisaran Valley.

Describing the assault as "cowardly and barbaric," both associations condemned the violence that claimed several innocent lives and injured many.

Court proceedings at the High Court and all subordinate courts will be halted, with bar associations expressing solidarity with victims and their families.

Various civil society groups and business bodies in Jammu have also supported the bandh, calling for peace and justice.
