'Issue Guidelines For Advocates To Avoid Wearing Uniforms Outside Court Premises': Allahabad High Court To UP Bar Council

Live Law  

The Allahabad High Court has asked the Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh to issue guidelines that the Advocates should avoid wearing uniforms outside the Court premises. The occasion to make this observation by the bench arose while hearing a criminal writ petition filed by a local lawyer Subhanshu Singh who had alleged that in September this year, he was assaulted by some lawyers in the Civil Court premises in Lucknow and he sought an independent probe into the matter. Further, the Court directed the Senior Registrar of this High Court to send a copy of the writ petition to the District Judge, Lucknow and seek his comments concerning the steps taken in pursuance of the letter sent by the petitioner dated 25.09.2023 to preserve the C.C.T.V. Lastly, the Court also directed the advocate appearing for the State Bar Council to inform the State Council about several cases being filed before the HC alleging Advocates in uniform going to intervene in private property disputes and assisting the land mafia in grabbing the property of citizens.
