BCI's Draft Rules Inadequate In Preventing Advocates' Strikes : Common Cause Tells Supreme Court

Common Cause, a public interest group, has argued before the Supreme Court that the draft rules proposed by the Bar Council of India (BCI) are insufficient to prevent strikes by advocates. These rules are aimed at ensuring that lawyers follow ethical practices and do not resort to strikes, which disrupt the legal process. However, Common Cause contends that the rules lack clarity and effectiveness in addressing the core issue of frequent strikes. The case is significant in promoting the uninterrupted functioning of the judiciary while balancing the rights of legal professionals.
