India’s legal community is debating a crucial question: should lawyers have the right to strike?
Across Delhi and other states, advocates have protested government notifications allowing remote testimony by police officers and provisions in the Advocates (Amendment) Bill 2025, which could increase government oversight on bar councils.
For many, this is about protecting the independence of the Bar and keeping justice free from external control.
But when lawyers boycott proceedings, citizens face delays, adjournments, and uncertainty. Courts have consistently held that the right to justice cannot be compromised, even by professional protest.
This clash between professional autonomy and public responsibility raises a key question:
👉 How do we balance Bar independence with uninterrupted justice?
