NCR lawyers to go on strike on Wednesday

New Delhi: Lawyers of the different bar associations of National Capital Region (NCR) are going to observe a day-long strike on January 14, demanding withdrawal of the proposed amendments in the CrPC allowing the police not to arrest an accused in offences punishable up to 7-year jail. A meeting of the Co-Ordination Committee All Bar Associations of Delhi as well as other districts of the NCR and adjoining area was organised at Tis Hazari courts here where a decision to go on strike was taken. The advocates of 24 bar associations including that of Ghaziabad, Noida, Moradabad, Bulandshahr and Alwar would abstain from court on Janaury 14, Rajiv Khosla, spokesperson of the Co-Ordination Committee told reporters.

“The proposed amendment would remove the fear from minds of criminals who will misuse the provisions under the garb of personal liberty,” the bar leaders said.
