The Delhi High Court has addressed the issue of delayed payments to government-empaneled lawyers, prompted by a writ petition filed by Anjana Gosain seeking recovery of Rs. 15,93,850 in unpaid fees. The ruling aims to resolve the persistent problem of outstanding legal fees despite numerous follow-ups and legal notices.
Gujarat High Court issued a circular mandating payment of outstanding court fees for cases filed during the COVID-19 pandemic within 30 days. Lawyers and litigants are required to settle pending fees and submit necessary documents for decided cases. Failure to comply will result in fees being recovered as arrears of land revenue.
