on 31st May. Minderjeet Yadav, Chairman, Bar Council conveyed his
gratitude to Chief Minister Punjab Captain Amrinder Singh for releasing One
Crore Rupees to the Bar Council and financial aid to the families of 42
deceased advocates. Cabinet Minister Vijay Inder Singla and Atul
Nanda, Advocate General, Punjab graced the occasion who applauded the Bar
Council’s efforts for the welfare of the legal fraternity. “Apart from statutory, enrolment
and disciplinary functions, the Bar Council has always worked for the welfare
and betterment of the legal fraternity. Before the enactment and implementation
of “The Advocates Welfare Fund Act” the Bar Council used their own resources
for providing financial assistance to the families of 574 deceased advocates.
But with the increasing inflation every year, the implementation of the welfare
fund acts became necessary” urged Yadav. “With the assistance of
welfare fund Act, the State of Haryana has already disbursed more than Rs. 70
lakhs and the Bar Council has already disbursed more than Rs. 2.56 Crores as
Covid-19 financial assistance to the affected members of the legal fraternity,
in total, comes to Rs. Three Crore 28 Lakh.” Informed Yadav
