Legal Turmoil: Allahabad Lawyers Strike Over Judge's Transfer

Lawyers at the Allahabad High Court are striking against the transfer of Justice Yashwant Verma from the Delhi High Court. The protest, which has halted judicial proceedings, is fueled by controversy surrounding the discovery of cash at Verma's residence. The legal community demands intervention from the Supreme Court collegium.

Lawyers at the Allahabad High Court are protesting the transfer of Justice Yashwant Verma from the Delhi High Court, leading to a strike that has brought judicial proceedings to a grinding halt.

The protest comes amid controversy over cash discovered at Verma's residence, following a fire incident. The Allahabad High Court Bar Association (AHCBA) vows to continue the strike until the Supreme Court collegium reevaluates Verma's transfer order.

On March 26, AHCBA President Anil Tiwari met with key legal figures to press for reconsideration. Despite assurances from government officials, the issue remains unresolved, leaving the Allahabad legal community in limbo.
