The Telangana Legislative Assembly approved the Telangana Advocates Protection Bill, 2026, ensuring police protection, safeguards against false cases, and a dedicated grievance redressal system for lawyers. Minister Sridhar Babu Duddilla said the law, shaped by Bar Council inputs, strengthens advocates’ safety, confidence, and professional independence.
The Delhi High Court directed the Delhi government to expedite the enactment of the Advocates Protection Bill, which is pending approval. The Coordination Committee of All District Courts Bar Associations requested access to the draft Bill, leading to a Court order for its release. The next hearing is set for May 28, 2025.
