Meerut Lawyers Strike and Bar BJP Representatives Over High Court Bench Demand
Lawyers in Meerut and 22 western Uttar Pradesh districts began a strike demanding a high court bench in the region, staging protests and abstaining from judicial work. The Meerut Bar Association barred BJP representatives from court premises and resolved not to represent BJP MPs and MLAs, citing lack of support from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who referred the issue to the Supreme Court's jurisdiction. Plans for further meetings to discuss the demand are underway amid ongoing agitation.
