As the stalemate between Uttar Pradesh Bar Council and the state government of Uttar Pradesh proceeds over giving financial assistance to lawyers in trouble in the midst of Covid-19 pandemic, the nil has deided t help layerswith its n resres and assets. The Bar Council also urged all members, senior advocates, and other colleagues at the Bar to generously contribute to the welfare of the lawyers in need of financial help.

The Bar Cnil f Uttar Pradesh, along these lines has deided t help states 171,000 layers h hld an endorsement of training (ertifiate f pratie).

It has earmarked Rs 10 rres, hih may inrease in future, frm its n assets and resources. These lawyers, across 75 areas and including those at Allahabad High Court and its Lucknow bench, will get assistance related to finance through lawyers associations of their particular regions.

The bar council will hand over the funds to lawyers associations in every one of the 75 locales. These associations will move the cash legitimately to the bank accounts of the lawyers in need of financial assistance. According to the bar council, the store will be assigned to each locale as per the number of lawyers having the endorsement of training. 

Prior to August 15, we will execute the arrangement and the cash will be moved to the financial balances of lawyers, said Janki Sharan Pandey, administrator, Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh.

Lawyers associations will give all subtleties to the Bar Council inside seven days of moving the cash into financial balances of the lawyers, added Pandey. 

The bar council has given the obligation to 25 individuals to work with lawyers associations in 75 regions to identify lawyers who are in need of money related assistance.

Every member of the Bar Council has been designated three districts according to their decision. Here, they will coordinate with the lawyers associations to identify needy lawyers from among the holders of certificate of training, said Pandey.

They ill prepare a list f lawyers h fulfil the criteria set by the Bar Cnil, he added.

Lawyers ithcertificate f practice
