A group of lawyers in Dausa staged a protest against the Rajasthan High Court's order to implement a target case disposal plan, calling for its immediate revocation.
Lawyers gathered in Dausa to demonstrate against a recent order of the Rajasthan High Court that seeks to introduce a "target case disposal" scheme. The protest, organized by local members of the bar, called for the immediate withdrawal of the plan, arguing that it places undue pressure on the judicial process.
The demonstration follows a broader appeal issued by the state-level Bar Association, which urged legal professionals across the state to oppose the scheme. In response, the district bar association also voiced its dissent, joining the lawyers on the streets of Dausa.
The target case disposal plan aims to clear a specified number of pending criminal and civil cases within a set timeframe, a move the court hopes will reduce backlog. However, the protesting lawyers contend that such numerical targets could compromise the quality of judgments and infringe on litigants' right to a fair hearing.
No official statement from the High Court has been released at the time of reporting, and it remains unclear whether the judiciary will reconsider the order in light of the bar's objections.
