Meerut: In response to the recent Hapur incident that has stirred controversy, the Meerut court complex witnessed a day of strike and protest by the legal fraternity. Lawyers, expressing their vehement dissent, padlocked the gates of the court complex, signifying their strong protest against the situation.

This joint effort aimed to convey their collective disapproval of the alleged mistreatment and unjust actions against their fellow lawyer.
The lawyers’ protest, marked by a determined march and vocal demonstrations, highlighted their demand for the withdrawal of the fabricated case against the female lawyer and her father. Additionally, they called for immediate and stringent action to be taken against the police officers accused of filing false charges.
The Meerut court complex became the focal point of this significant protest. Lawyers’ associations, irrespective of jurisdictional boundaries, united under a common banner to seek justice for their colleagues and uphold the integrity of the legal profession.
The protest sent a strong message about the importance of fair treatment, accountability, and the rule of law. As lawyers raised their voices against injustice, the Meerut court complex transformed into a platform for dialogue and reform, underscoring the role of legal professionals in safeguarding the principles of justice and equality within society.
