“The welfare of junior lawyers is always on my top priority and all possible efforts are being taken to help and encourage them.” This was said by Advocate General Virendra Bhatia on Tuesday while inaugurating the new extension of the Library Hall, which had been named after late Tribhuwan Upadhyaya, former Joint Secretary of Allahabad High Court Bar Association. This programme was organised by the Allahabad High Court Bar Association (HCBA).
Bhatia said that the government was determined to extend all possible help to the lawyers. He asked the lawyers to wait for the forthcoming budget of the State government in this regard, where more provisions were likely to be added for the welfare of lawyers.
He said, he did everything possible for the lawyers as he derived strength from them.
Recalling late Tribhuwan Upadhyaya, he said one should take inspiration from him as Upadhyay, a handicapped who had lost both his hands in an accident, never compromised with circumstances and became a successful lawyer and leader of the Bar as well.
Addressing the gathering a member of the UP Bar Council, Amarendra Nath Singh, lauded the efforts of the Advocate General in getting various projects passed for the welfare of lawyers.
The programme was presided over by HCBA president CL Pandey and was conducted by secretary IK Chaturvedi.
Others who attended the programme included, Additional Advocate Generals Adish C Agrawal and VK Singh, Government Advocate Vijay Shankar Mishra, former chairman of UP Bar Council NC Rajvanshi, former HCBA vice-president Harbansh Singh, former HCBA treasurer Shree Rang Pandey, Vinay Pratap Yadav and several other HCBA office-bearers and lawyers.
