India Tactical: Advocates announce strike across all district courts in Delhi on June 9; maintain vigilance
Current Situation:
- Advocates from the Coordination Committee of All District Courts Bar Associations have scheduled a strike by boycotting judicial work across all district courts in Delhi on June 9. The exact timing of the strike has not been disclosed as of writing.
- The strike aims to denounce the relocation of the Digital NI Act Courts to the Rouse Avenue Court complex.
Source: ANI
Assessments & Forecast:
- The strikes are expected to be widely observed across Delhi, given the resonance of the issue and the organizing capability of the group. While no demonstrations have been announced, impromptu gatherings outside Dwarka, Karkardooma, Patiala, Rohini, Rouse Avenue, Saket, and Tis Hazari Courts Complex, as well as outside the high court and supreme court buildings, remain liable. Anticipated turnout at these potential demonstrations is expected to range in the mid-to-high dozens. As a standard security protocol, the authorities are likely to bolster security in the vicinity of the aforementioned locations, given the sensitivity of the locations. These measures will likely include setting up barricades and deploying police personnel to manage the crowd.
- A latent risk of clashes remains between the advocates and the police, especially should the former engage in perceived disruptive activities, including breach of security protocols. In such instances, the authorities are liable to resort to baton charges and temporary detentions to disperse and control the crowds. Localized travel disruptions to pedestrian and vehicular traffic can be anticipated in the vicinity of the aforementioned locations during the slated protest on June 9.
Recommendations:
Those operating or residing in Delhi on June 9 are advised to maintain vigilance in the vicinity of potential protest locations due to the slated strike and associated security measures, while allotting for travel disruptions.
