outside members have been debarred to participate in the election process and
only actively practising Advocate in the Hon’ble High Court will be
allowed to cast their votes in the General Election of the Punjab
and Haryana High Court Bar Association. No member shall be allowed to cast
his/her vote who is enrolled after 31st October of every year, with a rider
that too will have to show his appearance on 8 dates in cases, in previous year.
