Uttar Pradesh: Lucknow lawyers protest against virtual hearings, demand physical hearings

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh): The Awadh Bar Association of the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court has called for a strike today in protest against virtual hearings of the court.

"Due to poor video quality and poor connectivity, video conferencing does not lead to proper hearing and cases are being constantly shifted to the future," lawyers said.
