The Allahabad High Court Bar Association (HCBA) took a strong stand on Monday by abstaining from judicial work in protest of the tragic death of Jagriti Shukla, a lawyer who died following an alleged incident of mistreatment at the Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital in Prayagraj. Shukla had visited the hospital after an accident on May 20, but her attendants reported that they were manhandled by hospital staff during her treatment. In response to her death, the HCBA has demanded strict action against those responsible for the alleged misconduct. They have sent a resolution to both the Chief Justice and the senior vacation judge of the Allahabad High Court, seeking accountability for the incident. Additionally, a parallel body of lawyers has expressed its condolences and joined the call for action. A group of lawyers also staged a dharna near Ambedkar crossing, insisting that the names of the doctors who were reportedly suspended be made public, vowing to continue their protest until appropriate legal measures are taken against those involved.
