SC Bar Association writes to CJI requesting ‘no adverse order be passed’ today

Aggarwala said, “Your Lordship is undoubtedly aware of the significance of this celebration”, adding that “some of my Muslim brethren have also approached me to request Your Lordship to declare it a holiday.”

He said “while acknowledging the importance of maintaining an adequate number of working days, we are specifically requesting that no adverse orders be passed in any case due to the absence of anyone – lawyer or litigant”.

Aggarwala said that “even though the main prayers are in Ayodhya, simultaneous ceremonies will take place in temples not only in India but throughout the world.

The celebrations will commence early in the morning and continue until late evening”.

He said “I understand that many Hon’ble Judges and Senior Law Officers have been invited to Ayodhya, and they may also be participating in the prayers”, adding that he himself will be attending the prayer ceremony in Ayodhya.

Aggarwala said that the Central Government and most state governments, including the Delhi government, have declared a half-day holiday to provide citizens with the opportunity to participate in this prayer ceremony and requested the CJI “to advise the Registry of the Supreme Court to issue a public notification in this regard”.
