Plea In High Court Seeks Direction For Centre, Delhi Govt To Consider Enacting Advocates Protection Act In National Capital

Live Law  

A plea has been filed in the Delhi High Court seeking directions for the Union of India and Delhi government to consider enacting the Advocates Protection Act in the national capital. The petition filed by lawyers Deepa Joseph and Alpha Phiris Dayal alleges that there is an "alarming rise" in incidents of violence inside the court premises of different district courts in Delhi. “That the Petitioners firmly feel that it is high time now that a decision is taken for enactment of the Advocates Protection Act in Delhi, particularly when recently the State of Rajasthan has also recently passed such an Act. Only an Act that guarantees protection to the fraternity of lawyers practising in Delhi will help remove the sense of fear that has embedded in the minds, particularly among young first-generation lawyers like the Petitioners herein due to the repeated acts of firing inside court premises and altercations to state the least,” the plea states.
