Meghalaya Bar Associations Call for Removal of Advocate General Amit Kumar

Meghalaya's legal community has rallied around a demand to oust the state's Advocate General, Amit Kumar. Representatives of the bar associations submitted a formal request to the state government, stating that Kumar's continuation in office is untenable. The petition underscores the associations' belief that the Advocate General's conduct or performance has eroded confidence among lawyers. While the specific grievances were not detailed in the statement, the bar bodies emphasized the need for swift action to preserve the integrity of the legal system. The state government has yet to respond publicly to the demand.
