Counsel for the applicant submitted that the frequent calls for strikes by the Bar Association were in gross violation of the judgments of the Supreme Court in Ex-Capt Harish Uppal v. Union of India and Hussain and another v. Union of India, among others.
It was also stated that poor litigants whose cases were pending before the revenue courts for a very long time, having no other remedy, approached the High Court for relief. Under the Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code, there are fixed time periods for disposal of cases related to mutation and partition. In the present case, the land revenue dispute was ordered to be decided in six months, the Court noted.
“The cases remain pending as the call for boycott from judicial work by local Bar Association is very frequent, and no judicial work is carried out during that day,” the Court highlighted in its order.
