Staff Reporter :
Hundreds of lawyers of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) on Monday formed a human chain programme in the bar premises in demand of resuming the regular court proceedings instead of virtual system which had been introduced recently due to coronavirus outbreak.
The lawyers alleged that most of the lawyers are not familiar to the virtual court system and they didn’t have any training to conduct cases in such courts. As a result most of them could not file any case in the virtual courts and the lawyers
had fallen into serious financial crisis as they were not conducting the cases for more than three months.
Advocate J R Khan Robin said the lawyers are suffering a lot due to the closure of the regular activities of the court functions. “So we want the resumption of the regular court proceedings,” he added.
Advocate Mohammad Earul Islam, one of the participants of the human chain program, said, most lawyers are not habituated with the proceedings of virtual court system. Suspension of the regular court activities has thrown most lawyers into deep financial crisis as it is the only way for livelihood for the most Supreme Court lawyers.
