The Punjab and Haryana High Court Bar Association has decided to abstain from work on February 24 in protest against the proposed Advocates (Amendment) Act, 2025. This decision was taken unanimously by the executive of the association on February 21. The lawyers say that there are many such provisions in the Advocate Act, which will tarnish the image of the advocacy profession.
There is not a single welfare scheme for lawyers in the bill. It should be withdrawn. Actually, the Central Government is going to amend the Advocate Act 1961. A large section of lawyers is opposing it.
Acting President of Punjab Haryana High Court Bar Association Jasdev Singh Brar and Honorary Secretary Swarn Singh Tiwana said that this decision of the Center is not right. Because they believe that it has harmful provisions for lawyers and the judiciary.
The Central Government is preparing to bring an amendment bill to change the Advocate Act of 1961. When the final draft of the bill was released for suggestions from the people, lawyers across the country have come out in protest against the bill. The protest against the bill started from Delhi and has spread to 14 states of the country.
The Bar Council of India (BCI) has demanded the central government to withdraw this bill. If the central government does not withdraw the bill, lawyers will go on strike across the country.
