It has been decided to organize regular meetings in all the districts and sub-divisions of Haryana with full participation of advocates, social workers, political thinkers, and litigants. It has also been decided that now the officials of Janashakti Awaaz Manch will start a hunger strike on a priority basis throughout Haryana until the demand is accepted.
The forum has also decided to form an organization on the issue of a separate High Court and a new capital for Haryana, including other sections of society, to highlight the important issues of Haryana.
The lawyers of the forum are also demanding separate Bar Councils for Haryana and Punjab and making significant provisions in the annual budget of Haryana for the welfare of advocates and the implementation of retirement benefits for advocates under the Advocates Welfare Fund Act through separate Bar Councils for Haryana. They are also demanding to do so, as many other states have already made budgetary provisions in the annual budget of the state governments for the welfare of advocates. Under the Advocates Act, the creation of a separate High Court in Haryana is necessary for the creation of a separate Bar Council.
It was also resolved that within 10 days, a proper organization would be formed in every sub-division with full participation of all sects of society. A delegation of lawyers will also meet the Chief Minister of Haryana, Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Governor of Haryana, Leader of Opposition in Haryana, and Presidents of all political parties in Haryana on the issue of a separate High Court.
More than 14,25,047 cases are pending in Haryana. According to records, more than 14,25,047 cases are pending before the District and Subordinate Courts of Haryana, and more than 6,19,2,192 cases are pending before the High Court, with lakhs of cases pending before other commissions, tribunals, and other authorities.
It is estimated that more than 45 lakh people in Haryana are involved in litigation, and most of the litigants are affected due to delays in the disposal of cases. Speedy decisions on these issues are crucial for the litigants and advocates of Haryana. Both Haryana and Punjab need separate High Courts to resolve this issue. Equally important is the platform’s demand for another new capital within the borders of Haryana.
