The Bar Council of India (BCI) has announced a joint virtual meeting to address the ongoing strikes by advocates, which are disrupting judicial work across various districts in Uttar Pradesh.

Meanwhile, the BCI has requested the High Court Bar Association of Allahabad High Court to call off the strike and resume court work.

A statement issued by the BCI emphasized its commitment to addressing the grievances of the High Court Bar Association and assured that necessary steps will be taken to resolve these issues promptly. However, the continuation of the strike, boycott, or abstention cannot be permitted. The BCI fully understands the challenges faced by members of the Bar and will discuss and deliberate on these issues during the meeting to find an effective solution.

This meeting is scheduled for Sunday, 14th July 2024, at 1:30 PM. Participants will include office bearers of the BCI, the Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh, the Prayagraj District Bar Association, and the High Court Bar Association of Allahabad.

The agenda of the meeting will cover the following topics:

  • Discussion on the Supreme Court’s directives regarding the prohibition of strikes by lawyers, as reiterated in a series of judgments
  • Exploring compliance strategies to ensure adherence to these directives
  • Formulating plans to address grievances without resorting to strikes
  • Gathering suggestions from all concerned parties for effective resolution of the matter
  • Developing a framework for continuous engagement with the Bar Council of India, State Bar Councils, and respective Bar Associations

Immediate measures to prevent further strikes, effective communication and grievance resolution without strikes, the role of the Bar Council of India, State Bar Councils, and Bar Associations in facilitating dialogue and addressing concerns, and fostering a culture of compliance and cooperation among all members will be discussed. Additionally, the meeting will address the establishment of a permanent grievance redressal mechanism within each Bar Association and the regular conduct of virtual and in-person meetings between the Bar Councils and Bar Associations to promptly address issues of the Bar, according to the BCI statement.
