HC Notices To 55 Bar Associations On Vote

Times of India · india

Uttarakhand High Court has issued notices to all 55 bar associations in the state regarding the "One Bar, One Vote" principle. A petition alleges advocates holding multiple memberships vote in different bar elections annually. The court directed notices be sent via registered post, with action required within a week. The case stems from a petition citing Rule 40 of the Bar Council of Uttarakhand election rules, which restricts voting to one bar per year.
