President of the Bar Association, Rajesh More, highlighting the escalating instances of assaults on lawyers, said that the issue is severe and urged the government to promptly address the matter. He said there's a pressing need to take swift action. More added that BABA had secured an appointment with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and planned to meet with them to discuss the issue.
Borivali Advocate Bar Association Secretary Surendra Landge also demanded the swift implementation of the bill. He warned that if this demand is not met, all bar associations at the Mumbai level will unite in protest.
Senior lawyer Ashok Sutrale expressed concern over the lack of protection for court employees, including peons and clerks. He noted that when court employees face misconduct, the police administration often takes action under the section pertaining to interference in government work. He said that despite being considered officers of the court, they have inadequate protection.
Describing the murder of a lawyer couple as deeply saddening, he urged the government to take strict action against the perpetrators. He also said that the children of the couple should not just be given financial support but their educational needs should be taken care of.
Other lawyers Adv Rajeev Desai, Shitij Mehta, Kishore Joshi, Suboth Pathak, Amit Mishra, Ashok Shukla, Bipin Shukla, Mukesh Pandey, Ashish Teli, Bale, Aijaj Khan, Arun Mishra, Azad Gupta, and many other were presented.
