The members of the Bar Association unanimously opposed the decision of the Government and called upon the authorities to make arrangements for registration of the documents within the premises of Court Complex by providing sufficient infrastructure in the form of official accommodations and other secretarial assistance, failing which the Bar Association shall take all necessary steps required in this behalf to ensure that the demand of the lawyers fraternity which is in larger public interest is met. Finally, it was decided to convene a meeting of the members of the Executive Committee on October 30 in Justice Dr Adarsh Sen Anand Library, High Court of J&K Jammu, at 12:30 PM to discuss further course of action and it is also decided to abstain from the work on October 30 from all the courts including High Court Subordinate Courts Tribunals & Commissions etc. (JNF) |
