In the wake of the recent lathi charge incident involving lawyers in Hapur, Uttar Pradesh, members of the Uttar Pradesh Bar Council have announced a two-day work abstention on September 11 and 12 as a mark of protest against the alleged police excesses. The decision to abstain from work was made in response to the escalating tensions between legal professionals and law enforcement.
The lathi charge incident, which took place earlier this week, unfolded when lawyers in Hapur staged a demonstration outside a local police station to protest the alleged mistreatment of one of their colleagues. The protest quickly turned confrontational, leading to a clash between lawyers and police officers. The police resorted to lathi charges to disperse the crowd, resulting in injuries to several lawyers.
Lawyers across Uttar Pradesh have condemned the incident, demanding a thorough investigation and action against those responsible for the lathi charge. They argue that such incidents undermine the sanctity of the legal profession and the right to peaceful protest.
In response to the lawyers’ call for protest, the Uttar Pradesh Bar Council has declared a two-day abstention from work, during which lawyers across the state will refrain from court appearances and legal proceedings. The protest aims to draw attention to the issue and press for justice for the injured lawyers.
The Hapur lathi charge incident has also prompted discussions about the need for improved communication and understanding between legal professionals and law enforcement agencies to prevent such confrontations in the future. Legal bodies are calling for dialogue and training to bridge the gap and ensure a more cooperative environment.
While lawyers abstain from work, authorities are closely monitoring the situation and working to address the concerns raised by legal professionals. The incident and subsequent protests highlight the importance of peaceful resolution and the rule of law in handling such disputes.
The Uttar Pradesh Bar Council’s decision to abstain from work underscores the legal community’s commitment to seeking justice and accountability in the face of incidents that challenge the principles of justice and fairness.
