Acting Chief Justice Sharma of the Rajasthan High Court warned that the atmosphere at the bench has become tense following a lawyers' boycott sparked by a dispute with the Supreme Court.
A group of lawyers has stopped appearing before the Rajasthan High Court in a coordinated boycott, alleging a disagreement with the Supreme Court over procedural matters. The protest has led to a backlog of hearings and has drawn attention from the state bar council.
Acting Chief Justice Prashant Kumar Sharma addressed the media, stating, "The situation is tense and the functioning of the court is being hampered." He urged the legal fraternity to resolve the issue through dialogue and warned that continued disruption could affect the delivery of justice.
The boycott has already impacted several high‑profile cases, prompting litigants to seek adjournments. Court officials are in talks with senior advocates to find a quick settlement, while the Supreme Court has been asked to clarify its position to defuse the standoff.
Legal experts say such confrontations, though rare, highlight the delicate balance between the judiciary and the bar, and stress the need for clear communication channels to avoid future impasses.
