Meghalaya High Court Issues Contempt Notices Over Lawyers' Judicial Work Boycott
The Meghalaya High Court issued criminal contempt notices to office-bearers of the Shillong Bar Association and the High Court of Meghalaya Bar Association for calling a boycott of judicial work to demand the removal of Advocate General Amit Kumar. The court deemed the abstention "completely unacceptable" and illegal, noting it disrupted justice and left litigants unrepresented except in Baghmara. The bench directed the accused to appear on October 13 and warned of further notices if work did not resume promptly.
