Lawyers
all over India will abstain from work on March 31 to protest against a proposed
bill that bars advocates from going on strike, it was announced on Tuesday. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
Bar
Council of India (BCI) Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra said the proposed amendments
by the Law Commission in the Advocates Act were "draconian, anti-lawyer,
unconstitutional, undemocratic and anti-people". The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
"The
recommendations of the Law Commission are against the legal profession and
legal education of the country is in danger because of this proposed
bill," Mishra said.
"The
regulation and control of legal profession and legal education is proposed to
be handed over to non-lawyers and the advocates will have to face the
disciplinary proceedings before people not connected with the legal
profession." The Total Investment & Insurance

According
to the BCI website, there were some 12 lakh lawyers all over the country as of
2013.
The
Council said there were chances that charted accountants, architects, politicians,
doctors and others would dominate the Bar Council due to the proposed
legislation.
The
Council urged the government to reject the recommendations of the Law
Commission.
It
said the Commission appeared to have acted hurriedly without considering the
recommendations of the BCI and instead considered the suggestions of only
non-lawyers.
"It
(proposed bill) has defined the misconduct in such a provocative manner that
any judge, judicial official or a client can easily say that the behaviour of
the lawyer was unlawful, disgraceful or dishonourable," the Council said. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
"In
a nutshell, the Council is of the unanimous opinion that the autonomy,
democracy and the mandate of the Constitution of the country are proposed to be
throttled by the said bill."
Judicial
work in Delhi was paralysed on March 23 when some 6,000 lawyers went on strike
to protest against suggestions that lawyers should be banned from going on
strike and slapped with penalties if they do.The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
