Delhi Bar Council, the regulatory body for lawyers in the Indian national captial, where the country's Supreme Court too is situated, on Thursday wrote to the ministry of health demanding the legal fraternity too be included in the front line workers and vaccinated on priority basis as case backlog is increasing due to corona related limitations on physical hearing. Delhi Bar Council chairman Ramesh Gupta said in the letter that despite limited physical hearings many lawyers and judges have lost lives due to Covid-19 and therefore they too need to be vaccinated on priort basis along with other front line workers. Hampering of judicial work will added to more cases being added in the backlog. The Indian judicial system is already known for heavy backlog of trials and other judicial proceedings.
