Legal Standstill: Lawyers Challenge Saturday Court Sessions
The Delhi High Court Bar Association has resolved to abstain from work on the court-declared working Saturdays. The decision aims to counteract the disruptive impact on lawyers' schedules, as the High Court did not reconsider its stance despite their appeals. The abstention is set to begin from April 2026.

The Delhi High Court Bar Association (DHCBA) has issued a call for lawyers to refrain from working on the first and third Saturdays of every month, challenging the court's decision to schedule sessions on these days.
The announcement follows the high court's January notification and a unanimous resolution by the Bar Association on March 27. Despite repeated appeals, the court did not change its stance, leading to disruptions in legal schedules.
The DHCBA noted that the arrangement affects lawyers' professional routines, including tribunal and court appearances and preparation time. To mitigate this, proxy counsels will be assigned for necessary proceedings on these Saturdays.
