Advocates in Udaipur division(includes 7 districts) are agitating for High bench for last 65 days in the city.
People of Udaipur Divsion are facing a hardship and governement is not taking a positive response.
And unlike the other agitations, this is getting support for the Udaipur civilians also.
If seen geographically the Udaipur is the 3rd largest in terms of area as well as in population.
jodhpur(there is High court) is long distance away from udaipur and udaipur comes in tribal region where people of udaipur are not rich enough to go to Jodhpur to get a fare justice......
To press their demand for a Bench of Rajasthan High Court in Udaipur, a delegation of 35 lawyers from Udaipur division presented a memorandum to chief minister Ashok Gehlot in Jaipur on Tuesday.
Interestingly, Gehlot gave the delegation a patient hearing but during the 10-minute meeting he mentioned Jodhpur 15 times.
Udaipur Bar Association general secretary Hemant Joshi said, "Gehlot made it clear that he has always been with the advocates of Jodhpur and urged us to stop the agitation."
Gehlot was of the opinion that he had earlier participated in the movement against establishing high court bench at Jaipur, so how he can support the Udaipur movement now?
In April the registrar general of high court, in a communique to the state government, had stated there was no need for a Bench in Udaipur. This has been sent as a reply to the letter of the then chief minister Vasundhara Raje, in which she had recommended stablishment of a high court bench in Udaipur.
Former president of Rajasthan Bar Council, F S Mehta said, "The decision to turn down the demand on the basis of number of pending cases is not a fair one. The high court should have considered the poor financial condition of the people in the region as well as the distance factor. At least a circuit Bench should be there in southern Rajasthan."
The demand for a Bench in Udaipur is being raised for the past four decades. The local bar association is protesting by wearing black ribbon on their arms every 7th day of the month for the past 32 years. "Now, the Bar has decided to take up the movement aggressively," said Bar Association president, Tribhuwan Nath Purohit. "We are boycotting routine work in protest since July 7," he added.

Stating that the Marwar region lacks political will, Joshi said, "There is no one in this region who can voice its interest. Almost all MPs and MLAs of the region had assured us that they will be joining us in Jaipur to meet the CM, but it is very unfortunate that not a single one of them was there."
The statistical fact show that there is a great need of a High court bench in Udaipur divsion, the cases in jodhpur High court is about 60% pending cases of udaipur.apart from special reasons , common claims pertaining to minimum wages,industrial diputes,vehcile accident etc are also addressed to high cour jodhpur.
Keeping the democratic deorum of the country, lawyers of Udaipur has been silent off on every 7th of every month from last many years....
Now the question arises if government seems not taking responsiblites than who is responsible for no wrok in judical sytem for last 35 days..
Who will be responsible for no work???
There are lot of thousand of cases were pending......judge are getting their salary with no work...quite a great job....
Then why should we pay taxes...if government can do their own duty........
We ask for justice ....can we get the same......
Please give us suggetion or if have the knowledge and power please help us we the people of Udaipur(Mewar).
Thanks
