Punjab & Haryana High Court Bar Continues Strike Over Alleged Assault On Lawyer By Police Officials

The Punjab and Haryana High Court Bar Association has continued its abstention from court work across Punjab and Haryana, pressing for action against Haryana Police officials accused of assaulting a lawyer.

In a suo motu proceeding, the Punjab Government informed the High Court that an FIR has been registered in the matter. However, the FIR names only unknown persons.

The Bar Association termed this insufficient and demanded that the names of the concerned officials, including those from CIA-1, Hisar, be added, along with appropriate penal provisions and action against the concerned SHO.

It stated that the strike will continue until these demands are met.
