Lawyers will go on strike against making UCC and registry paperless…
Today, advocates will be on strike against making Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and registry process paperless. Regarding this, the Bar Association has announced to take out an anger rally. At 12 noon, advocates will take out a rally from Vidhi Bhavan to the district Magistrate's office and register their protest against the government. After this, a memorandum will be submitted to the district Magistrate in the name of the Chief Minister. Due to the strike, bags, typing, stamp vendors, and all other works in the courts will be affected.
Outgoing President of Bar Association Rajiv Sharma said that the UCC and registry process has been made wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital and paperless by the state government, due to which advocates may have to face many problems. Advocates say that this decision will also cause difficulties to common citizens, because there can be many technical flaws in wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital processes. Advocates clarified that the protest will continue until the government reconsiders this decision. There will be no work in the Registrar's office on Friday, due to which people who come to get the registry done may have to face problems.
The Bar Association says that paperless registry will reduce the security of documents, transparency, and importance of traditional process. Lawyers also argue that this can promote corruption, because any kind of irregularity in the wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital system can be easily hidden. According to advocates, wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital processes will have an adverse effect on the judicial system. This change can create problems for many senior advocates, who are not yet very familiar with the wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital system.

Another senior member of the Bar Association said, "The government should first strengthen the wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital system, so that there is no technical problem. It is not logical to implement it without making proper arrangements." Advocates have warned that if the government does not take their demands seriously, they can announce the next phase of agitation. They have demanded that the government withdraw this decision or find a proper solution by discussing with the advocates. Due to today's strike and anger rally, the general public may also have to face delay in the judicial process. Lawyers say that if their demands are not met, the protest will intensify.
