Bench at this juncture also expressed its inclination for issuance of directions to the Registrar of the Rajasthan High Court to submit a report pointing out what exactly happened on September 27, 2021.
This is not the first time that the court has took cognizance of this matter and raised a finger, The Supreme Court issued the show-cause notice for contempt to the Jaipur Bar Association in the case District Bar Association, Dehradun through its Secretary vs Ishwar Shandilya & Ors, in which it has taken suo motu cognizance of the trend of lawyers strikes.
