Oudh Bar Association Withdraws Its Resolution To Boycott Court Of Justice Dinesh Kumar Singh Of Allahabad High Court

The Oudh Bar Association today withdrew its resolution passed on Wednesday deciding to boycott the Court of Justice Dinesh Kumar Singh, a judge of the Allahabad High Court (at the Lucknow Bench), with immediate effect.

In the resolution passed yesterday, it was stated that the decision to boycott Justice Singh's court was taken on account of his misbehaviour with the lawyers who are appearing before him. The resolution further stated that the Association has received several complaints from members of the Bar stating that they are finding it very difficult to appear before the Court of Justice DK Singh.

The resolution also requested the members of the Bar to abstain from work in the Court of Justice Singh so that the dignity of the members of the Bar be maintained.

However, the said resolution has now been recalled, confirmed an office bearer of the Oudh Bar Association. The detailed resolution of the association is yet to come out in public.

In fact, despite the calls for a boycott by the bar association, hundreds of lawyers today appeared in the courtroom of Justice DK Singh. Speaking to Live Law, a Senior member of the bar, on the condition of anonymity, said that the majority of the bar members felt that Justice Singh was being targeted for extraneous considerations.
