No physical hearings, HC Bar to observe fast

Chandigarh, December 24

The Punjab and Haryana High Court Bar Association today resolved to observe a fast on the day courts reopen after the winter break to protest non-resumption of physical hearing.

“It has been unanimously resolved that all office-bearers, members of the executive committee of the Punjab and Haryana High Court Bar Association, along with members of the Bar, would observe a fast on January 4 from 10 am to 4 pm at the new Bar complex to protest non-opening of courts for physical hearing,” the resolution released on Thursday evening stated.

The resolution came after an online emergency meeting of the Bar association's executive committee at 5:45 pm. The committee was informed about the outcome of the Bar and the bench coordination committee meeting attended by four senior judges, president GBS Dhillon and others. — TNS
