Today, the Supreme Court urged lawyers to refrain from engaging in strikes, emphasizing that such actions could deter investors interested in India's emerging economy.
A Bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan emphasized that all members of the legal profession have a significant responsibility in this matter.
"We are also for effective mechanism to address their (lawyers) grievances but system must not stop even for an hour. I said recently too, we have such an emerging economy but with these (strikes) how will investors have confidence? There is onerous responsibility on all. Think about common man in this country. We must have something to stop (strike) culture," Justice Kant remarked.
"Have patience that is all. We appreciate you are releasing your mistake," the Court told the counsel representing the bar body today.
