SCBA divided over a letter seeking CJIs action against protesting farmers

New Delhi: Supreme Court Bar Association Executive Committee members disassociate themselves from the President Adish C Aggarwala’s letter to the Chief Justice of India seeking suo motu action against "erring farmers" in the context of the farmers protest.

The majority of members of the Executive Committee of the Supreme Court Bar Association have disagreed with an earlier letter sent by the Senior Advocate Adish C Aggarwala to the Chief Justice of India.

“This letter has been issued by the President unilaterally without any consultation with the members of the Executive Committee. The letter written on the Supreme Court Bar Association letterhead gives the incorrect impression that the letter is written on behalf of the Supreme Court Bar Association. We do not agree with the contents of the letter and disassociate ourselves with this letter,” the formal resolution reads.

In the letter to CJI, the SCBA President contended that farmers should not inconvenience the general public with their protests, saying that the Supreme Court should intervene suo motu to prevent disruptions.
