The document is a resolution issued by the Delhi High Court Bar Association (DHCBA), dated 13.07.2026.

Key points

The DHCBA Executive Committee held an emergent meeting on 13 July 2026.

Members are requested to extend full cooperation and solidarity in the collective interest of the Bar.

Practical takeaway

The notice is essentially a call for abstention from work on 14.07.2026 by members of the Delhi High Court Bar Association, linked to concerns over the proposed increase in District Courts’ pecuniary jurisdiction.
