Allahabad High Court Bars 300 Oudh Bar Members from Voting Ahead of Elections
The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court barred 300 Oudh Bar Association members from voting in the upcoming elections, citing discrepancies in their Certificates of Practice (COP). Of these, 155 members had voting locations outside the Oudh Bar Association, and 145 had not renewed their COPs. Approximately 5,000 eligible members will vote for 22 posts, with polling starting at 10 am Wednesday and counting on Thursday. The court also directed the Bar Council of UP to develop a software system to improve COP transparency.
