The Delhi High Court Bar Association (DHCBA) has reiterated its decision to abstain from work on the first and third Saturdays of each month, following a ruling by the Delhi High Court on January 15 that mandates judicial work on these days. The DHCBA's notice emphasizes the need for the court to reconsider this decision, citing significant concerns from its members regarding the additional workload. The association argues that working on Saturdays not only leads to physical and mental fatigue among lawyers but also increases the overall judicial workload. In light of this, the DHCBA plans to designate proxy counsels for court appearances on these abstention days. The call for reconsideration follows a letter sent to the judges on February 4, expressing the Bar's discontent with the ruling and its implications for legal professionals.
