lawyers at Tis Hazari Courts on Tuesday called off their two-day strike protesting the Delhi Government’s recent order transferring three police stations of West district to South-West district under the Dwarka courts after the l-G assured them that their objections would be considered.
Delhi Bar Association (DBA), which had given the strike call, said the lawyers met the l-G who said the Government’s order would not be approved without giving due consideration to the objections raised by them.
“Therefore, the three police stations remain within the jurisdiction of Tis Hazari Courts only till the final decision. The committee shall pursue the matter with Delhi Government,” advocate Sanjeev Nasiar, president of DBA, said.
He said the lawyers also put forward a proposal before the l-G that if the jurisdiction is to be decided on the basis of distance from respective courts, all districts should be reorganised at once and not in piece-meal. The lawyers at Tis Hazari court had abstained from work on Monday too, claiming that the order was “arbitrary and illegal”.
