'Lawyers Can't Be Made To Starve': Kerala HC Pulls Up Bar Council Of Kerala For Delay In Implementing 2018 Govt Order On Stipend For Junior Lawyers [Read Petition]

Live Law  

The Kerala High Court on Tuesday came down heavily upon the State Bar Council for "grave delay" in implementation of 2018 Government order whereby sanction was accorded to pay monthly stipend of Rs.5000/- to the junior lawyers. Vide order dated March 9, 2018, the Kerala Government had sanctioned monthly stipend of Rs.5000/- for junior lawyers of a specified category, payable out of the Welfare Fund created under Kerala Advocate's Welfare Fund Act, 1980. While the Petitioner had sought interim relief of directing the Bar Council to consider and pass orders on all applications seeking stipend, the Court was pleased to grant time to the Standing Counsel to seek instructions from the Bar. The present petition also claims that many lawyers had approached the Bar Council as well as the Trustee Committee seeking application forms and other procedures and guidance to apply for stipend.
