The Delhi High Court has invited bar association representatives for a meeting on January 30 to discuss increasing the pecuniary jurisdiction of district courts. Lawyers have long demanded the move to reduce delays, cut litigation costs, and ensure faster justice.
The Bar Council of India has urged Delhi bar associations to withdraw their indefinite strike from September 8, stressing that most concerns over police witness video conferencing have already been addressed. BCI Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra said repeated strikes harm litigants and weaken the bar’s credibility.
