A group of lawyers in Jodhpur has called for the abolition of a procedural system they say forces excessive working hours and disrupts personal life.
Jodhpur, Rajasthan – Several practicing lawyers in Jodhpur have formally appealed to the local bar council and the district court to discontinue a procedural system that they argue compels them to work beyond reasonable hours. The lawyers contend that the current arrangement, which dictates strict timelines for case filing and court appearances, leaves little room for personal commitments and affects their overall well‑being.
In a joint statement, the lawyers highlighted that the system not only strains their professional efficiency but also erodes the quality of life for legal practitioners and their families. They have urged the authorities to review the schedule, introduce flexibility, and consider alternative mechanisms that balance judicial efficiency with humane working conditions.
The petition has sparked a broader conversation among legal circles in Rajasthan about modernising court processes while safeguarding the welfare of those who serve within them. Officials have indicated that they will examine the concerns raised and schedule a meeting with representatives of the bar to discuss possible reforms.
