Gujarat HC Bar Association prez moves court over no-confidence motion

Ahmedabad | Friday | 22nd June, 2018

Summary:

In response to this, a meeting was called on May 1 which neither the petitioner (president) nor the vice-president could attend. A petition in the Gujarat high court has sought that a no-confidence motion brought against the president of the Gujarat Bar Association be declared illegal and in blatant defiance of the law and should be set aside. In April 30, 2018, some members of the association sought an extraordinary general body meeting for a condolence meet of a lawyer killed outside his office in Jamnagar. While the body did not accept the resignation it stated that since a no confidence motion was already passed, it need not be considered. But in violation of the rules, the general secretary chaired the meeting and decision was taken to stay away from work..
