Lawyers across Punjab announce possible strike – Here’s Why

Ludhiana (The Uttam Hindu): Lawyers from the Ludhiana Bar Council went on strike today in protest over the naming of a fellow lawyer in the recent Prinkal shooting case. According to the lawyers, their colleague has been wrongfully implicated, and they have issued a warning of a potential indefinite statewide strike if his name is not removed from the FIR.

In a joint statement, the Ludhiana Bar Council emphasized that the inclusion of their co-lawyer in the case was done without proper investigation, which they believe was intentional. In response, they held a one-day strike as a show of solidarity and to voice their demands. The council warned that if the lawyer’s name is not promptly removed from the FIR, they may escalate the strike to an indefinite statewide protest.
