UP High Court Grants One Week to Law Remembrancer on Advocates' Insurance Scheme

The Lucknow bench of the High Court, led by Justices Rajan Roy and Manjive Shukla, granted the Uttar Pradesh government's law remembrancer one final week to file a response regarding a public interest litigation on insurance coverage and financial assistance for advocates. The court noted delays despite earlier directions. The Oudh Bar Association, representing about 14,000 members, highlighted challenges due to a proposed annual premium of Rs 4,999 per advocate, totaling nearly Rs 7 crore, which it cannot afford. The court also referenced a May 30 order on group insurance for government advocates.
