Harish Uppal (Ex-Captain) vs Union Of India And Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of strikes and boycotts by lawyers, emphasizing that while the Bar Council of India opposes strikes except in rare cases, individual lawyers must retain the right to practice without coercion. The Court held that any call for a strike must allow members the freedom to appear in court without facing adverse consequences. The judgment underscores the balance between the rights of lawyers and the need to maintain the dignity of the judiciary and the legal profession, establishing that strikes should be avoided to prevent hardship to litigants.
