Supreme Court Directs Allahabad High Court to Act Immediately Against Repeated Strikes by Noida Lawyers

The Supreme Court recently took serious note of repeated strike calls and court boycotts by the Gautam Buddha Nagar Bar Association in Noida and directed immediate action by the Allahabad High Court.

A Bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi asked the District Judge to submit details of all days on which lawyers abstained from work pursuant to strike resolutions.

The Court further directed the Allahabad High Court committee examining the issue to take prompt action in accordance with earlier Supreme Court rulings prohibiting lawyers’ strikes, observing that repeated abstentions were disrupting court functioning and affecting litigants.
