New Delhi, April 16 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Delhi Bar Association on Thursday requested Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to allow lawyers to commute to their offices amid the nationwide lockdown that's in place to fight the coronavirus outbreak in the country.
In a letter written to Kejriwal and Delhi Police Commissioner S.N. Shrivastava, the bar association sought a direction to the police authorities to allow advocates to commute from their residences to their chambers on verification of their ID cards.
To substantiate their point, the letter made a reference to the Central government's notification which allowed 'self-employed' persons to carry out their activities from April 20.
"Delhi Bar Association is of clear view that the office activities of the advocates limited to their offices can be carried out while strictly following the prescribed norms of social distancing," the letter undersigned by DBA President Sanjeev Nasiar said.
