Members of the Allahabad High Court Bar Association (HCBA) on Tuesday observed `Sankalp Diwas' and resolved to protest unanimously on any move of bifurcation of Allahabad high court.
Presiding over the meeting, HCBA president, VC Mishra while quoting the Constitution observed that bifurcation of the high court would be against the very spirit of the Constitution which envisages one high court for one state.
He pointed out that the city played a pivotal role during the freedom struggle and even the Allahabad high court through its landmark judgments delivered from time to time has strengthened dispensation of justice.
Secretary of HCBA, Veer Singh while decrying the move pointed out that it was more of a political gimmick aimed at garnering votes. He declared that any such move initiated by the government would be detrimental apart from becoming an impediment in dispensation of justice.
Meanwhile, president of Bar Association of Uttar Pradesh, Vishnu Pandey called upon politicians to desist from making such statements in public which create an air of uncertainty.
