NEW DELHI: With the district courts associations and police representatives failing to thrash out an amicable solution at a meeting moderated by Lt Governor Anil Baijal on Sunday, the lawyers’ strike is set to continue.
A committee, which included members of District Court Bar Associations, Bar Council of Delhi and Bar Council of India, was constituted to discuss the issue with the representatives of the police establishment, Lt Governor, Home Ministry as per the order of the High Court, BCI had said.
“Despite our cooperation, no concrete step has been taken to arrest the police persons who fired at advocates. So, there would be peaceful but complete abstinence from work. Our demand that the police officers who fired at the advocates be arrested was opposed so the boycott continues,” said Dhir Singh Kasana, general secretary of the coordination committee of All District Courts Bar Associations.
He said the meeting was held at the Lt Governor’s residence and Special Commissioners of Police Satish Golcha, Praveer Ranjan, Joint Commissioner Devesh Srivastava, Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Monika Bhardwa and Bar Council of India Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra were among those attending the meeting.
