The Assam government’s decision to move the high court is opposed by the Gauhati Bar Association

The Gauhati Bar Association said it opposed the Assam government’s decision to shift the Gauhati High Court from the heart of the city to Rangmahal in North Guwahati, around 23km away across the Brahmaputra River.

The association said other bar associations have also supported its resolution to oppose the proposed shifting of the high court, and the lawyers, who had staged a demonstration on June 27 against the proposal, will further intensify their agitation over the matter if needed.
