Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court emphasized that strikes by lawyers are unjustifiable as they interfere with the administration of justice, citing the need for lawyers to assist in the judicial process rather than boycott it. The Court acknowledged that while grievances exist, strikes do more harm than good and suggested alternative methods for redressal, such as discussions and representations. The judgment reinforced the idea that the legal profession should not resort to strikes and called for the establishment of Grievances Redressal Committees at various levels to address issues faced by advocates.
