The High Court of Karnataka has proposed amendment to its rules to treat strike/boycott of courts by advocates as interference with the administration of justice and to authorise the Chief Justice to suspend advocates who resort to strike from practising in any court in the State for a particular period.
An amendment in this regard is being proposed in the draft of the “rules laying down the conditions subject to which an advocate shall be permitted to practice in the High Court and the courts subordinate thereto (Amendment) Rules, 2024,” which was notified last month.
