Expressing strong opposition to the Supreme Court Collegium’s recommendation to transfer Justice Yashwant Varma from the Delhi High Court to the Allahabad High Court, the Allahabad High Court Bar Association (HCBA) has announced an indefinite strike starting today.
In a resolution passed on March 24, the Bar Association stated, “In the General Assembly of the Allahabad High Court Bar Association held today, on 24.03.2025, a proposal was passed unanimously stating that we will strongly oppose any future attempts to transfer Hon’ble Justice Shri Yashwant Varma of the Hon’ble Allahabad High Court. However, despite this, the Supreme Court Collegium, in its meeting today, ignored the demand of the Allahabad High Court Bar Association and passed an order for the transfer of Hon’ble Justice Shri Yashwant Varma to the Allahabad High Court. Deeply upset by this, we have unanimously decided to abstain from judicial work until further notice.”
Additionally, the Bar Association declared that the Photo Affidavit Centre will remain closed indefinitely from March 26 due to the suspension of judicial work, effectively preventing the filing of fresh cases.
The HCBA urged the Central government to refrain from approving the Collegium’s recommendation.
The Association also issued a warning that if any oath commissioners or government advocates continue their duties on Tuesday, it “will not oppose any action taken against them.”
