Declare holiday in courts on Ram Mandir inauguration, BCI chairman writes to CJI

NEW DELHI: The Bar Council of India's chairman has requested Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud to declare a holiday in the Supreme Court, high courts and district courts across the country on January 22, on the occasion of Ram Mandir consecration ceremony.

This gesture would not only recognise the profound cultural significance of the Shri Ram Mandir inauguration but also demonstrate a harmonious blend of legal processes with the cultural ethos of our nation, senior advocate Manan Kumar Mishra said.

In a letter to the CJI, he asked this would acknowledge the cultural and national significance of the event.

The construction of the grand Ram temple in Ayodhya has been a matter of great faith and has evoked profound sentiments among the citizens. The Supreme Courts historic verdict on November 9, 2019, which affirmed the birthplace of Lord Rama and allocated the disputed land for the construction of the temple, resonated with the truth and beliefs of the Hindu community," he wrote.

Mishra said this event holds immense religious, historical, and cultural significance for millions of people across the country, marking the realization of a long-awaited dream and the culmination of legal proceedings that have been pivotal in defining the nations structure.

Lord Rams universal significance extends beyond cultural and religious boundaries, touching the hearts and minds of people across diverse communities and belief systems, he said.

In light of religious, cultural, national, and international importance of this event, Mishra asked the CJI to consider declaring a holiday in the Supreme Court, high courts, district courts, and other courts across India on January 22.

"This holiday would allow members of the legal fraternity and court staff to participate in or observe the inauguration ceremonies in Ayodhya and other related events across the country, he said.

Mishra said the matters requiring attention can be accommodated through special arrangements or, if necessary, rescheduled for the following working day.
