FIR against 2 advocates in Chandigarh-Mohali border protest: Bar body to continue strike for second day

While the two advocates were named in the FIR registered by the Chandigarh Police against the ongoing protest at the Chandigarh-Mohali border, many members of the Bar body claim that Chahal was present at the Sector 43 district court at the time of the protest so it is wrong to include his name in the FIR.

The District Bar Association (DBA) will continue their strike for the second day on Tuesday. The Bar body has given a call to all advocates not to work on the inclusion of the names of advocates Amar Singh Chahal and Dilsher Singh Jandiala in the FIR registered by the Chandigarh Police against the ongoing protest at the Chandigarh-Mohali border.
