Agenda 7(f). Several members participated in deliberation and discussed this Agenda in detail. The Bihar State Bar Council, who came with suggestion before the arbitrator that as the papers are at Patna and the dispute can be resolved mutually at first instance by sitting together. As result the arbitrator appointed by the Chairman, Bar Council of India asked the representative of Jharkhand State Bar Council to sit together at Patna on 17th/l 8th March 2007 and decide all the issues mutually. The representative of the Jharkhand State Bar Council headed by the Chairman and the Advocate General, participated in the said meeting. The two Advocate Generals (Bihar & Jharkhand) who are ex-officio Chairman of their State Advocate's Welfare Trustee Committee, signed agreement that pending final settlement it was agreed upon that Bihar Advocate Welfare Trustee Committee would pay immediately 75 Lacs as an interim payment. It was also agreed upon orally that if the Secretary stays back he may carry cheque/draft on Monday i.e 19th March 2007. But for one reason or the other the delivery of the cheque was delayed and subsequently it transpired from the communication (the resolution) received that the Bihar State Advocate Welfare Trustee Committee has backed out from its written commitment, for whatever good reason behind it. The Jharkhand State Bar Council took this matter very seriously and it resolved to condemn the action and/or attitude of the Bihar Advocate Welfare Trustee Committee. It expressed surprise that even written agreement arrived at between two ex-officio Chairman is not being respected by them and therefore, their attitude has become very apparent. The Chairman is requested to inform the arbitrator to resume arbitration sitting as soon as possible and conclude the arbitration in one or two sitting and they should also take into account the conduct manner and attitude of the Bihar Stale Bar Council and Bihar Advocate Welfare Trustee Committee. Let a copy of this resolution be transmitted to State Bar Council for Arbitrator/arbitrators to resume arbitration as soon as possible and also a copy of it be sent to Chairman, Bar Council of India for information.

Letter No. 1407/07 dated 26.03.07 received from Bar Council of Gujarat, the Jharkhand State Bar Council endorse the resolution taken by the Bar Council of Gujarat on 18.3.07 which reads as follows:-"The faith of civil litigants in Gujarat which has practically become stagnant causes grave concern. Even fast track Courts which are appointed to take up the criminal matters in preference to civil cases. In the civil litigation, once the party dies, the heirs which are brought on record to complicated procedure. Further complications cause delay in the decision of the civil cases. The mafia activities are also increased because of the delay and therefore, criminal litigation and various circle is set up, which is required to be eliminated."And add that the Bar Council of India should raise voice, approach the Supreme Court and the Government of India and request them that while making appointment the Judges all steps should be taken not to by-pass the merit. It is only on account of bad appointment that the judiciary is cracking from within and losing its grace. No appointment is a good appointment than a bad appointment which gives a very bad name to the whole system. Still there is time to take corrective measure to preserve, protect the old glory of the system. Only judges and VIP family do not posses merit. Even person belong to middle class family posses merit and integrity but their claims ae always ignored because they do not hae god father to support. There should be transparency in the appointment of judge and Bar must have say. Let a copy of this resolution be sent to Bar Council of Gujarat and Bar Coouncil of India for information and be it circulated to all other Bar Councils.

After discussions as above in the emergent meeting of Jharkhand State Bar Council dated 28.06.2012 in the office of Jharkhand Stale Bar Council, North Office, I'ara, Doranda, Ranchi it is resolved as follows:- The Jharkhand Slate Bar Council is in receipt of the letter claled 04,06.2012 and Unlay lias discussed the following Bills proposed to be introduced by Ihe Ministry of Human Resources Development (M.H.R.D,), Government of India, in the field of education (v) The National Accreditation Regulatory Authority for Higher Educational Institutions Bill, 2010; (vi) The Foreign Educational Institutions (Regulation of Entry & Operations) BUI, 2010; (vii) The Educational Tribunals Bill, 2010; and, (viii) The National Law Schools Bill, 2011. The Bar Council took note of the fact that legal education in India had been controlled and regulated by the various Bar Councils under the provisions of the Advocates Act. The Executive Committee noted the fact that much progress had been made in the field of legal education in India in the last 60-65 years, with the products of various National LawSchools and other good schools/colleges being much in demand both in India and in the developed countries. The Bar Council expressed its concern and worry at the adamant attitude of the M.H.R.D. in introducing the abovementioned Bills, which would serve to allow easy and unfettered access of Foreign Educational Institutions in the various fields of education in India, including the field of law. In the opinion of the Committee, this would be detrimental the interest of Indian students and of India citizens. These Bills were against the Federal structure of the country as is envisaged in the Constitution of India, with all Educational Institutions imparting legal education to be regulated by a few nominees of the M.H.R.D., with the Bar Council of India and the State Bar Councils having no role to play in the matter. The Bar Council unanimously resolved that all Advocates of the Jharkhand State shall abstain from Court work on the 11.07.2012 and 12.07.2012 in protest against the abovementioned Bills, and to demand the exclusion of legal education from the purview of the abovementioned bills. It is further resolved as follows:- "After considering and having a thorough discussions on the issue of the impact of Higher

Education and Research Bill, 2011, The National Accreditation Regulatory Authority for Higher Educational Institutions Bill, 2010; and "The Foreign Educational Institutions (Regulation of Entry and operations) Bill, 2010;" and The National Law School Bills, 2011, the Council/Association is of the firm view that these Bills are deliberate attempt on the legal profession and it is an attempt to allow the entry of the foreign institutions in the country. The Indian culture, Indian institutions, poor students and the Indian Bar and the future generation will be ultimate sufferer. The HRD Ministry is bent upon to weaken the lawyers bodies and as such Bar Councils and Bar Council India and to spoil the Association of lawyers in the country it is resolved In fully support nil the agitational program decided by the Bar Council in their meeting dated 19.03 2012, it is further resolved to abstain from work on 11and 12's July. 2012 And it is further resolved that submit a memorandum 10 Her Excellency, President of India. Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Hon'ble Chief Justice of India. Hon'ble Union Minister of India, Hon'ble Governor of the States. Hon'ble Chief Ministers of the States and the Hon'ble local Members of Parliament.

Mr. Kapil Sibbal. The Council/Associations further resolved to burn the effigy of Mr. Kapil Sibal and copies of the said Dills before the coIlectorate/Raj Bhavan to hold Press Conference conveying the feeling of all the Advocates.

The Associations/Council resolves that there can be no higher authority than the Legal Education Committee of Bar Council of India for the purpose of accreditation of the institutions imparting Legal Education in the country and the National Accreditation Regulatory Authority shall have no jurisdiction with regard to institutions of Legal Education."

The Council also considers that all questions related to Pension Scheme have already been considered and discussed at length, and duly decided by all the concerned authorities. Thereafter such decisions have been duly approved by appropriate authorities. Hence, the Council considers that the technical issue raised by the letter of Trustee Committee has already been adequately provided for under the already approved and notified Rules. The Council understands that as per the approved and notified rules, the Scheme has to be funded also from the receipts on sale of Advocate's Welfare Stamps. The Council also recalls the various steps taken by the different Associations to 'strictly implement the usage of the said stamps under the overall supervision of the state council with a view to enhance the receipts from it's sale. The Council further recalls that a prime reason which led to enhancement of the value of Advocate's Welfare Stamps from Rs 2.50 to Rs 15 has been to generate sufficient funds for the Pension Scheme which was under discussion simultaneously, As such, the Council unanimously considers that there is no problem whatsoever with respect to legality or technicality which may be considered to be a hurdle for


111

proper implementation of the Pension Scheme as already agreed and/ or for transfer of funds from the Trustee Committee as requested. Further, all members of the Jharkhand State Bar Council unanimously resolve to strive to make the landmark scheme a success. Let an extract of this resolution be sent to the Chairman, Jharkhand Advocates Welfare Trustee Committee with a request that the fund be released expeditiously so as to enable the account to account transfer to the beneficiaries on or before 2nd October, 2013.

58/2014, dt. 16/11/14

Item No. 02 of the Agenda is taken up. The proceeding of Jharkhand State Bar Council Meet dated 11.10.2014 is hereby perused and approved.

59/2014, dt. 16/11/14

Item No. 10 of the Agenda with regard to appointment of Additional Public Prosecutor and Public Prosecutor in the district for appearance in the Session Court was raised by Hon'ble Members and is taken up. The aforesaid posts of Public Prosecutor as well as Addl Public Prosecutor are greatly prestigious and coveted because of their pivotal roles in prosecution, particularly in the session Courts of the District. Jharkhand State Bar Council considers this issue as matter of great importance as it appears that general litigants suffer because of absence of qualified and competent public prosecutors or Additional Public Prosecutor which directly affects the prosecution. The matter is of great concern. Various issues related to effectiveness of prosecution and rates of conviction under the current system where prosecutors are appointed from the state cadre and it's effect on justice dispensation were discussed at length by Jharkhand State Bar Council. The Council noted with concern the growing dissatisfaction of common people as well as their dissatisfaction with justice dispensation system. It is pointed out that the Criminal Procedure Code had provided that prosecutors would be chosen from amongst experienced Advocates where period of experience were provided as per seriousness of the category of cases for which the appointment was made. Such appointments were made after due consultations amongst high ranking officers like Deputy Commissioners and the District Judge who were directly interested


114

in administration of justice and maintenance of law & order. However, this system was amended by the state and now prosecutors are being appointed from a cadre of Assistant Public Prosecutors. This system of appointments has proved to be highly defective and obstructs the very objective of efficient and expeditious dispensation of justice as under this system recognized professional efficiency does not receive the weightage as it did under the earlier system. This has effectively reduced the standards of prosecution and rates of conviction. Consequently, the faith of people in the system has gone down. Jharkhand State Bar Council made a representation for necessary amendments to his Excellency Governor of Jharkhand who forwarded the same to the Hon'ble Chief Minister. However, despite assurance, no action has been taken as yet. As per old practice the Advocates of competence were appointed as Public Prosecutor and Additional Public Prosecutor by the District Magistrate in consultation with Sessions Judge of the District. Later, an amendment was brought by State of Bihar in section 24 (6) of Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 by stating that Public Prosecutor and Additional Public Prosecutor can also be appointed from amongst persons from the state cadre. However, this section has been amended by the Central Government in year 2005 by which the word "also" has been substituted by the word "only" meaning thereby that that for regular prosecution, the State government shall appoint in every district one or more Public Prosecutor or Additional Public Prosecutors only from the cadre of Assistant Public Prosecutors. After the publication of cadre rules, the State Government is appointing Public Prosecutors and Additional Public Prosecutor, only from the cadre of Assistant Public Prosecutor by granting them promotion. The Jharkhand State Bar Council feels that the criminal justice system is a state subject under the Constitution of India. Therefore, the State of Jharkhand is competent to amend the appropriate provisions of Cr. P.C and incorporate such provision for appointment of Public Prosecutor and Additional Public Prosecutor from amongst Advocates of repute, knowledge and experience as per the earlier practice referred to by Section 24, (3)(4),(5), of Cr.P.C for the districts of Jharkhand state. For this necessary amendment in the Cr. PC and the cadre rules, which has been subsequently amended may be made for which representation was made to the Government earlier by the Jharkhand State Bar Council and a delegation of Jharkhand State Bar Council also met his Excellency the Governor Md. Syed Ahmed who was pleased to forward the request to the Hon’ble Chief Minister. Office of the Council received a letter from the Hon'ble Chief Minister that our request is under consideration. One and half year has passed


115

thereafter, however, no progress has been made. Jharkhand State Bar Council considers that the demand for amendment in law before the State government requires more push as the matter has not been resolved over the last two years. After much deliberation and discussions, it is decided by the Bar Council that the matter be discussed with the Presidents, Secretaries and Treasurers of all the affiliated District Bar Associations and Sub-divisional Bar Associations of Jharkhand State by calling a workshop on this particular issue. And in the next meeting of General Body this matter be particular considered for appropriate decision, and if required, if the demand is not acceded, the mode of agitation be adopted by the Jharkhand State Bar Council. For this purpose, an ultimatum notice be given to the new government in January, 2015.Further, on similar matter related to justice dispensation, it is noted that under different statutes like Santhal Paragarna Tenancy Act, Mines Act, VAT Act, PDR Act, Indian Forest Act, Santhal Pargana Regulation Act, various Revenue or Executive authorities of the state have been conferred Judicial powers though they are not legally trained for the purpose, nor have the required qualification of law. This adversely affects the cause of litigants. Therefore, the Bar Council constitutes a five member Committee consisting of 1. Mr. Shiv Narayan Roy, Hon'ble Member (2) Mr. Amar Kumar Singh, Hon'ble Member (3) Mr. Deepak Kumar, Hon'ble Member (4) Mr. Gopeshwar Prasad Jha, Hon'ble Member (5) Mr. Prakash Kumar Jha, Hon'ble Member for collection of data and appropriate report on the matter of manning of various executive posts, and to prepare a report on the matter. Let this be considered by the Bar Council so that the same can be brought to the knowledge of State Government for suitable amendment. Report may be furnished by the end of December 2014 so that this matter including that related to Public Prosecutor and Additional Public Prosecutor can be taken before the Government for suitable amendments.Further, the Jharkhand State Bar Council also decided that above said matters are of great public importance and should be widely publicized through the media. Let a copy of this resolution be circulated amongst all the Hon'ble Members of JSBC with a request to take up the matter to their respective districts and with President/Secretary, DBA/SDBA for information

64/2014, dt. 16/11/14

1. The letter sent by some Advocates of DBA, Dhanbad duly forwarded by Hon'ble Member, Mr. Prayag Mahto w.r.t dharna before the Chairman, Jharkhand State Bar Council is hereby condemned. Mr. Prayag Mahto, Hon'ble Member withdraws his ‘forward’ note on the same.

46/2019, dt. 17/11/19

Item no. 01 of the agenda is taken up. Hon'ble Chairman, states that protection of advocates is a prime requirement for Advocates' welfare and therefore, an essential duty of the JharJchand State Bar Council. He briefs the Council about the steps taken by him towards the aforesaid objective, and then requests the Hon'ble Members to present their views one by one. After views were elaborately presented by the Honhlc Members, the under mentioned decisions were taken:The Director General of Police, Jharkhand be requested to provide information about the number of cases where advocates have been subjected lo violence, status of their investigation reports and the number of such cases where chargeshects have been filed.iAll the associations be requested to send detailed information of all attacks/cases of violence against their members. The State Crime Records Bureau be requested to create a specific class/category to record the number of cases of violence against advocates. These statistics may be used to take further appropriate decisions. Jharkhand State Bar Council office is directed to create a separate section to record and follow up the cases related to such violence. Associations be likewise requested to establish separate sections at their respective associations to pursue such cases. Further, the Council elaborately considers the views expressed by some of the Hon'ble Members, which suggests that the growth of the number of cases against the advocates, to a considerable extent, may also be attributed to the fact that a number of people who actually pursue other profession/s have also enrolled themselves as advocates. The conduct of some of them has lowered the prestige of the advocates. A need is felt to expeditiously identify such persons. Let the Vigilance Committees be constituted expeditiously. Office is directed to engage with such Committees at different associations to seek updated reports. Some Hon'ble Members also expressed their views that the Council is responsible only to protect the advocates from such violence which is caused because of professional reasons, and not caused by personal reasons. The Council considers that this condition may not be advisable as anyone aggrieved professionally by any advocate, may either by himself or through someone try to avenge/teach the advocate a lesson. Such cases may appear to be personal although they may be caused only by the professional/occupational works of the concerned advocates and their support staff. Even otherwise, the Council is duty bound to work for the welfare of advocates. Security from violence is the first requirement for such welfare. The Council therefore resolves that all advocates who pursue their profession have the right of


125

support from the Council. The Council will therefore, follow up the cases of violence against the advocate and their support staff diligently so that the culprits are brought to book. However, where it is clear that the concerned person primarily pursues some other profession or occupation, the Council will not pursue such cases The Council also considers that nil democratic protests arc legitimate and acceptable, but they need to be calibrated. Each case shall be perused diligently so as to achieve the objective of lawful punishment to the perpetrator. If any hurdle is noticed from the end of any of law enforcement agency, the Council will first issue letter of request to ensure that the grievance is removed, failing which, legitimate pressure shall be exerted. At appropriate stage notice may be issued, thereafter other protests of lawful nature may be decided like black bands may be tied, and/ or court cases may be filed, etc, as may be decided by the Council. The associations are requested to report such cases to the Council and not to precipitate any serious protest action without appropriate consultations with the Council. It is resolved that airy decision of pen-down or strike can only be adopted as a last resort when all alternatives have failed. Then only the difficulties caused to the advocates as well as to the litigants by such abstention from work can be justified. Till then, advocates shall pursue their fight for justice as per duly prescribed lawful procedure

50/2019, dt. 17/11/19

At this stage, the Council calls upon the advocates to utilize the social media such that the fundamentals of decency, decorum and mutual respect do not suffer. If any advocate uses the social media to circulate messages which are defamatory to fellow advocates or the Council, he could be subjected to be proceeded for 'Misconduct" under section 35 of the Advocates' Act, 1961

1/2020, dt. 25/1/2020

Item no. 01 of the Agenda is taken up. The resignation of Mr.Ajit Kumar, Sr. Advocateand Advocate General, from the post of Chairman, Jharkhand State Bar Council, tendered on 30.12.2019, and the assumption of office by Mr. Rajesh Kumar Shukla, Advocate as Acting Chairman of the Council w.e.f from the said date is given post-facto approval. A vacancy to the post of Chairman is declared. The Council further resolves to conduct the election for the vacant post of Chairman. For the purpose, the provisions of the Bar Council of Bihar (Jharkhand) Rules, 1.962 and the Bar Council of Bihar (Jharkhand) Election Rules, 1968 are considered along with the letter of Bar Council of India. After detailed discussions, it is hereby decided to conduct the election of Chairman on 29.2.2020. The further details of the schedule shall be declared b}' theHon'ble Acting Chairman after consultations with Hon'ble Members. It is decided to conduct the election strictly as per rules so that there be no controversy whatsoever. At this


126

stage, the Hon'ble Acting Chairman states that pursuant to the resignation of the earlier chairman, as per the provisions of the rules, the concerned authorities have been duly communicated. He further says that similar vacancy has also been declared at Bihar State Bar Council where an election schedule has already been declared. It may be noted that the rules applicable to the creation of vacancy and election of chairman pursuant to such vacancy is provided under the Bar Council of Bihar (Jharkhand) Rules, 1962. However, subsequently, Bar Council of Bihar (Jharkhand) Election Rules, 1968 were framed which has a separate chapter related to the election of Chairman bid. the .JSBC Rules Book shows that the relevant chapter is untraceable despite best efforts, Therefore, even though there is a precedent of such an election conducted by the Council earlier, it was considered desirable to seek the views of the Bar Council of India so that the same could be put up before the Council, so that any unnecessary hassle like that of Uttarakhand Bar Council may be avoided where the election has become litigated and is subjudice for the last several months. After all aspects have been considered by the Council, a decision has been unanimously taken to conduct the election on 29/2/2020. The Hon'ble Acting Chairman further states that meanwhile a delegation of Hon'ble Members of the Council had called upon the Hon'ble Governor. Jharkhand, and submitted a representation with some demands for the betterment of the advocates. The Hon'ble Governor graciously discussed the problems at length, and assured to take steps to alleviate the problems, but the ones related to the common room and wash room for the women advocates, were to be dealt with utmost priority. The Council expresses deep obligations to the Hon'ble Governor for her concern and for her assurance. The Hon'ble Acting Chairman further states that the Government has accepted the Council's request to allow a credit of Rs. 21,60,000/- worth of advocates welfare stamps on credit which is double the earlier amount of Rs 10,80,000/ This would help the Council to deal more effectively with the scarcity of the stamps and help lessen the losses to the welfare fund. Further, he stated that despite hurdles, it has been ensured that the election of office bearers at the DBA, Jamshedpur shall be conducted on the scheduled date. Audit has also been completed. At this stage, Honhle Member, Mr Anil Kumar Tiwary rues that only for political motives, some advocates of the Bar Association launch personal attacks on him, specially on social media. The Council unanimously condemns such personal attacks. It is resolved that if any advocate maliciously defames any other advocate, whether by the use of social media or otherwise, the Council shall regard such acts as "misconduct" under section 35 of the Advocates' Act, 1935, and


127

would take an appropriate decision to commence the procedure to cancel/ suspend the license to practice of such an advocate. The Council considers that freedom of expression must not be misused, at least by the Advocates, who are among the most educated people of the society. At this stage, Hon'ble Members Mr Baleshwar Prasad Singh, Mr Sanjay Kumar Vidrohi, Mr Raj Kumar Raju, Mr M K Srivastava and some other Hon'ble Members commended the efforts made by the Hon'ble Acting Chairman.At this stage, Mr Baleshwar Prasad Singh, Hon'ble Member is of the view that the Council needs to make serious effort, to conduct the audit of accounts of the several Associations. A meet of the Audit Committee has recently been convened which has taken strict decisions. The office has been directed to communicate the resolutions to all the affiliated Associations for strict compliance. Hon'ble Member Mr Amar Kumar Singh says that several amendments to the various Rules are needed, and for the purpose, a meet of the Rules Committee also needs to be convened. The office is directed to issue letter to Hon'ble Members to seek their respective views towards the amendments they may consider appropriate.
