Physical hearings: Advocates to stage dharna at Gujarat HC tomorrow

AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat HC Advocates Association has decided to stage a sit-in protest outside the high court campus on Saturday morning to push its demand for resumption of physical functioning, as the courts are holding proceedings through virtual mode due to Covid-19 pademic since April last year.

GHAA took the decision to hold dharna on Wednesday and passed a resolution to this effect. It has also decided to boycott all official functions of the high court because the high court administration did not heed to their demand to open courtrooms and start physical functioning after the number of Covid-19 cases has gone down drastically.

The association had given a deadline to the HC administration till July 28 to open courtrooms “as a last resort to avoid any friction, confrontation and feeling of ill will and distrust”.
