In an unprecedented move, the Allahabad High Court has constituted a special judicial committee to address grievances pertaining to the recent Hapur Incident involving lawyers. This decision came after the Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking an urgent hearing on the matter.

 "We Deem it Appropriate to Refer the Application"

 The bench, comprising Chief Justice Pritinker Diwaker and Justice Mahesh Chandra Tripathi, stated in their order, "We deem it appropriate to refer the application dated 7.9.2023 of the Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh, containing its grievances in respect of the incident, to the Committee." The judicial committee will be chaired by Justice Manoj Kumar Gupta and includes Justices Rajan Roy and Mohd. Faiz Alam Khan, along with the Advocate General of Uttar Pradesh or his nominee, Chairman of the Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh, and the President of the High Court Bar Association.

 Addressing Lawyers' Concerns

 Various issues have been raised by the legal community following the incident in Hapur, Uttar Pradesh. The Bar Council members and other office bearers of the High Court Bar Association presented their concerns during the hearing. The Court directed the Special Investigation Team (SIT), already constituted by the State Government, to update on the action taken concerning the First Information Reports (FIRs) lodged by the lawyers involved in the incident.

 Next Steps

 The bench ordered that the matter be listed on 15th September 2023, on which date the SIT is directed to submit an interim report before the Court. The registry has also been directed to place a copy of the Court’s order before the Chairman of the Committee for further necessary action.

This pivotal decision has highlighted the Court’s commitment to addressing issues affecting the legal community and ensuring that grievances are dealt with in a structured and efficient manner.
