Agra civil court bar unification efforts stall as vote is scheduled for January 13

Efforts to unify the Agra civil court bar faced challenges during a recent meeting, which ended without agreement. Conflicting opinions arose, particularly regarding non-member participation, leading to the meeting's disruption. Agra Bar Association president Subhash Parmar announced a vote on January 13 to decide the next steps. Currently, over six bar associations operate within the Agra Civil Court, causing fragmentation in the legal community. Supporters of a unified bar argue it would improve advocacy for a high court bench in Agra. However, opposition emerged, with a senior member resigning in protest against the lack of willingness to merge associations.
