Delhi Bar Association members abstain from work over amendment in Central Motor Vehicles Act

Delhi Bar Association members called a complete work stoppage today to protest a new amendment in the Central Motor Vehicles Act.

Lawyers argue this undermines legal protections and have demanded the provision be scrapped immediately. The strike has halted court filings, consultations, and casework across Delhi, with no date set for resumption.
