On Thursday, Rajasthan High Court Bar Association passed 2 resolutions one requesting the chief justice to begin court hearings on hybrid mode (both physical & virtual) & to increase the number of designated ‘Senior Advocates’ from Jaipur.
The High Court has been hearing cases only virtually after the court reopened after the Christmas holidays due to the outbreak of the third wave of Covid. The association pointed out that Govt offices are functioning with 100% staff except for Courts & now the court administration consider their demand for hybrid mode of court hearing considering the difficulty in arguing the cases only virtually.They assured that no more than five lawyers would be present in a courtroom at a time during physical hearing & strict adhering of all Covid protocols. The high court had recently announced the names of 26 advocates designated as ‘senior advocates’ (10 from Jodhpur and 15 from Jaipur) which raised protests among a section of lawyers.
The association said more than 13,000 lawyers are registered with the HC Bar Association of Jaipur, which is much higher than the number of lawyers enrolled in the principal bench of Jodhpur. So the number of lawyers from Jaipur should be 5 times more than the number of lawyers from Jodhpur. So they demanded that at least 50 more lawyers from Jaipur be considered in the list of senior lawyers.
Meanwhile, lawyers led by Vimal Chaudhary, Vijay Singh Poonia, Shiv Charan Gupta, Brahmanad Sandhu continued their protest in front of the Gandhi statue in the court premises for ignoring their seniority while announcing the list.
