Chhattisgarh High Court: Courts cannot suspend judicial work for entire day solely on Bar Association's condolence request | - The Times of India
The Chhattisgarh High Court has held that courts and tribunals cannot suspend judicial work for an entire day merely because a Bar Association passes a condolence resolution or requests adjournment of matters. Relying on a series of Supreme Court decisions, the Court observed that while paying homage to a departed member of the Bar or Bench is a matter of institutional propriety, such observances cannot ordinarily result in complete cessation of judicial work, as doing so adversely affects litigants' right to access justice.
