Telangana Advocates to Boycott Justice Bhattacharya’s Bench From June 30

Accusing her of humiliating advocates, the association has requested her suspension pending a transfer to another court.

A large group of advocates, both men and women, dressed in black robes with white neckbands, are gathered in a courtroom or hall, seated and standing closely together. Most have serious or thoughtful expressions. The setting has arched doorways, a framed portrait on the wall, and air conditioning ducts visible above. A man with grey hair is seen from behind in the foreground, possibly addressing the group.

Overview

  • The Telangana High Court Advocates Association unanimously resolved on June 26 to boycott Justice Bhattacharya’s court starting June 30, 2025.
