The Meghalaya administration has been criticised for applying different procedural rules to lawyers, with the HYC denouncing the move as a lack of transparency.
Shillong – The state government of Meghalaya has come under scrutiny after reports surfaced that it is enforcing distinct procedural rules for different lawyers practicing in the region. Observers note that the variation in guidelines appears to lack a clear legal basis and raises questions about equitable treatment within the judicial system.
The Hyderabad Youth Council (HYC) publicly condemned the practice, labeling it a double standard that undermines transparency in the administration of justice. In a statement, HYC urged the government to adopt uniform regulations for all legal practitioners to ensure fairness and public confidence.
Legal experts and civil‑society groups have called for an immediate review of the policy, emphasizing that consistent rules are essential for maintaining the integrity of the legal process. The government has not yet responded to requests for comment on the matter.
