New Delhi: The Bar Council of India has written to the Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud, seeking a court holiday across India on January 22 when the consecration ceremony of Ram temple in Ayodhya will be held.
“This holiday would allow members of the legal fraternity and court staff to participate in or observe the inauguration ceremonies in Ayodhya and other related events across the country,” wrote Bar Council chairman Manan Kumar Mishra, a senior Advocate of Supreme Court.
He suggested that matters requiring urgent hearing could be accommodated by special arrangements or rescheduled for the next working day.
“I pray that you will consider this request with utmost empathy and take appropriate steps to mark this historic occasion in a manner that aligns with the sentiments of the people,” advocate Mishra stated.
With just four days to go, last-minute preparations for the ‘Pran Pratistha’ ceremony are underway in Ayodhya. Over 7,000 guests, including politicians, saints, and celebrities from across India, are expected to attend the much-hyped event.
