lawyers of all the six district courts in the Capital have decided to go on an indefinite strike from December 9 against the “delay” in tabling the amended Bill to enhance the pecuniary jurisdiction of courts to `2 crore. The Coordination Committee of Bar Associations of all the district courts in Delhi said that despite assurances, the proposed Bill recommending enhancement of pecuniary jurisdiction to `2 crore for the courts, has found no mention in the agenda of present Winter Session of Parliament.
“The Parliamentary Standing Committee on personnel, public grievances, law and justice presented its report dated November 28, 2014 to Parliament whereby it has accorded the recommendation for enhancement of pecuniary jurisdiction to `2 crore for the district courts of Delhi,” the committee said in a statement.
