Early Times Report JAMMU, Aug 26: J&K National Conference (JKNC) Central Zone has extended its support to Jammu Bar Association, Jammu which is protesting in support of their demands for quite a long time. Former Minister and President, Central Zone JKNC, Babu Rampaul today called an urgent meeting of office bearers to discuss the issue. The office bearers unanimously decided to extend their full support to the Jammu Bar Association. Babu Rampaul said that the Jammu Bar Association has been protesting in support of their genuine demands and he urged the LG Govt to give favorable consideration to their demands and be accepted at the earliest without further delay as it has generated anguish among the advocates, which is bound to aggravate, if no heed is paid. He said, "It is unfortunate that Govt has not given serious thought to the long pending demands of Jammu Bar Association despite repeated memorandum and suspension of work to arrest the attention of the Govt with regard to their demands and their early solution." He said that the people should not be put to harshment by keeping the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) far away from the Janipur Court Complex as it is great injustice with the advocates and the people whose cases are pending for disposal in the CAT. "Govt must construct a multi-storey building for housing the tribunal, courts for carrying out all judicial work including registration work, CAT, DRT, AFT, Consumer Form and other tribunals within the court premises in Jammu as per the demand of the Jammu Bar Association," he further added. He said that the cases are pending for years together due to various reasons and therefore, a building must be constructed within the Janipur court complex for the above said tribunals, courts and registration work. He also demanded construction of a housing colony for the lawyers of Jammu as well as in Kashmir to ensure a better livelihood with all facilities. "The Govt must address all pending issues of the advocates without further delay," he said, extending support to the advocates of Jammu for their ongoing protests.
