Delhi Bar Association Calls One-Day Strike Over Traffic Challan Rule Amendments
The Coordination Committee of All District Courts Bar Associations of Delhi has called for a one-day lawyers' strike on September 21 to protest amendments to the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, specifically Rule 167. The bar body objects to transferring adjudicatory powers over contested traffic challans from judicial magistrates to administrative officers, the involvement of various departmental officials in challan redressal, and the mandatory 50% pre-deposit requirement for further judicial appeals. They argue these changes hinder citizens' access to judicial remedies.
