The Bar Council held a meeting on 7th May, 2021 and unanimously resolved the amount.
Further, the Karnataka State Bar Council held numerous meetings with the Chief Justice of Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka and has successfully convinced him to direct the State Government for appointment of nodal officers to each taluk and district, to help the Advocates and their families.
