What is the whole matter?
On October 29, there was an altercation between the District Judge and the accused’s advocate Nahar Singh Yadav regarding the bail hearing of the accused in a case. After this the matter gained momentum. Seeing the situation worsening, the District Judge called the police. The police asked the lawyers present in the District Judge’s court to go out, but the lawyers did not listen. After this the police used force and lathicharged. The lawyers became angry over the lathi charge.
Regarding the dispute, the Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh has passed a resolution of strike in the entire state on November 4. Bar Association President Deepak Sharma said that the lawyers of Ghaziabad will be on strike on November 4 and a strategy will be prepared to run the movement further.
