The Court has also asked the Advocate Welfare Trust of the Bar Council of Chhattisgarh to file separate response so that the wholesome holistic view can be taken to render financial assistance to the affected lawyers The development comes in the backdrop of a letter addressed to the High Court by the District Bar Association, Bilaspur, highlighting the plight of Advocates during the pandemic. The Court registered the letter as an IA and asked the State Bar Council, represented by Senior Advocate Kishore Bhaduri, to seek instructions in the matter. Significantly, Bhaduri informed the Bench that though communication has been sent to the Bar Association throughout the State to intimate the Bar Council as to the names of the lawyers who have suffered death due to COVID-19, no such information has been sent by the concerned Bar Associations to the State Bar Council.
