'Lawyers Must Refuse To Abide By Calls For Strike By Associations' : Delhi HC On Orissa HC Boycott [Read Judgment]

Live Law  

While dismissing a petition assailing election of certain allegedly disqualified candidates to the Legislative Assembly of Orissa, filed before it on account of indefinite Advocates' strike at Orissa, the Delhi High Court on Wednesday remarked that all lawyers must boldly refuse to abide by any call for strike or boycott. The HCBA had resorted to strike after a General Body Meeting of the Association convened on October 14, wherein the members had unanimously "condemned" the recent resolution and the attitude of the Supreme Court Collegium and the Orissa High Court Collegium. Considerably, contempt proceedings in this behalf are pending in the Orissa High Court, against the HCBA and the Supreme Court also, which is also monitoring the situation and trying to restore access to justice in the State by way of a transfer petition filed before it, on Thursday remarked that it had "little doubt that the conduct of lawyers amount to contempt". Citing the indefinite boycott call given by the Orissa High Court Bar Association, the Petitioner submitted that he had not filed a petition in the Orissa High Court and had approached the Delhi High Court.
