Delhi District Court Lawyers to Boycott all Judicial Work Over Shifting of Digital Courts to Rouse Avenue

The Delhi District Courts will witness a complete halt in judicial work on Monday, June 9, as lawyers protest the relocation of all Digital Courts to the Rouse Avenue Court Complex.

Despite the Delhi High Court’s recent inauguration of 34 Digital Courts under the Negotiable Instruments Act 1881, aimed at easing cheque bounce case pendency, lawyers raised concerns about accessibility and fairness.

Advocates have expressed strong objections, citing issues of accessibility and procedural fairness. The Coordination Committee of Bar Associations said the centralisation has caused unrest among lawyers.

The next hearing on the matter is awaited.
