Lawyers staged a protest at the Udaipur District Court, refusing to handle cases and demanding better court facilities while opposing a fast‑track plan for targeted cases.
Lawyers assembled outside the Udaipur District Court, announcing a boycott of all judicial proceedings until their demands are addressed. The protestors highlighted inadequate courtroom infrastructure, insufficient staff support, and the lack of basic amenities as reasons for the shutdown.
The legal community also objected to a recently announced plan to expedite the disposal of selected cases, arguing that such a fast‑track could compromise due process and fairness. Representatives of the bar association urged the state judiciary to engage in dialogue before any accelerated docket is implemented.
Court officials confirmed the presence of the protest but declined to comment on the specifics of the facility grievances. The boycott is expected to affect the filing and hearing of pending matters in the district court until a resolution is reached.
Local authorities have been asked to mediate between the lawyers and the administration to restore normal court operations and address the infrastructure concerns raised by the bar.
