In a press note released by the Bar Council on Tuesday, it was stated that attacks against advocates and cases of false implication against legal professionals have increased manifolds.
Therefore, it was stated that a need was being felt for the implementation of the act in the states of Punjab and Haryana.
“From broad daylight incidents of murder, violent attacks, grievous hurts, kidnapping, intimidation etc in different parts of the states of Punjab and Haryana as well as in the parking of Hon’ble High Court and false implication by disgruntled/opposite parties to the opprobrium of breach of the client-lawyer privilege, there have been many such incidents which have been reported to the State Bar Council by Bar Associations, individual lawyers or their families,” the release reads.
