Kaul that pending examination of the newly amended Statutory Rules of the court, no precipitating action will be taken against advocates, but subject to the lawyers/ Bar Associations withdrawing the boycott.
The resolution passed by the full court made it clear that action, as per norms already laid down, would follow if the strikes are not withdrawn.
A committee to be constituted by the Chief Justice will examine the suggestions made by various associations concerning the newly introduced rules, the resolution stated.
