Bar Council Of Rajasthan Writes Letter To Chief Justice Opposing New COVID Restrictions Imposed By The High Court

"The above restriction of advocates to enter into the court premises is having no proper reasoning as majority of the lawyers are not vaccinated for 2nd dose across the state for the circumstances beyond their control. Kindly consider that there is no such restriction by the State for movement of an individual", the letter stated.

The letter dated 25.06.2021 written by Advocate Kuldeep Kumar Sharma, Chairman of the Bar Council of Rajasthan also noted that there exists a lot of resentment amongst lawyers of the State regarding the proposed modalities and thus prayed for its withdrawal.

In a meeting held on 23.06.2021, the Representatives of the Bar Council of Rajasthan had opposed the restrictions mentioned in the aforementioned notification, the letter noted.

In the interests of advocates at large, the Bar Council requested the Rajasthan High Court to withdraw "the modalities mentioned at S1.No.2 of the Circular and SI.No.1 of the Notification issued by the Hon'ble Rajasthan High Court at the earliest and issue a new guidelines/circular, so as to permit the lawyers to enter the court premises and to argue their cases by physical mode also."
