Vadodara: The protest by lawyers in Vadodara against the proposed Rent Act 2026 intensified on Wednesday, with the strike continuing for the sixth consecutive day. Judicial work at the Vadodara court remained severely affected as members of the Vadodara Bar Association continued their opposition to the new rent legislation.
As part of the protest, a large number of lawyers gathered outside the court premises and staged a demonstration against the proposed legislation. In a symbolic and strong form of protest, the lawyers also burnt copies of the bill outside the court.
The protesters raised slogans against the government and demanded that the proposed legislation be withdrawn.
Lawyers Protest Against Rent Act 2026
The ongoing agitation has been organised by lawyers opposing provisions of the proposed Rent Act 2026. According to the protesting lawyers, the proposed legislation could have an adverse impact on tenants, landlords, ordinary citizens and the judicial system. The lawyers have been demanding that the government reconsider the proposed law and withdraw it.
Court Work Affected for Sixth Consecutive Day
The continuing strike has affected regular judicial proceedings at the Vadodara court. With lawyers abstaining from court work, litigants who have scheduled hearings and court dates are facing difficulties.
Many people travel from different parts of the district and surrounding areas to attend court proceedings. The ongoing strike has therefore created additional inconvenience for litigants who have been waiting for their cases to be heard.
Bill Burnt Outside Court in Protest
During Wednesday’s demonstration, lawyers gathered outside the court building and publicly burnt copies of the proposed bill.
The action was presented as a symbolic protest against the Rent Act 2026 and the government’s proposed legislation. Lawyers also raised slogans demanding that the government withdraw the bill. The demonstration remained focused on putting pressure on the authorities to address the concerns raised by the legal fraternity.
Lawyers Raise Concerns Over Impact on Tenants and Landlords
The protesting lawyers have argued that the proposed rent legislation could affect both tenants and property owners. They have also raised concerns about its possible implications for the judicial system and the manner in which rent-related disputes could be handled. The lawyers maintain that the proposed provisions should be reconsidered before the legislation is implemented.
Warning of More Intensive Agitation
The Vadodara Bar Association has indicated that the protest could become more intense in the coming days if the government’s concerns are not addressed.
The lawyers have warned that they may expand the agitation if their demand for withdrawal of the proposed Rent Act is not accepted. The next course of action is expected to depend on the government’s response to the demands raised by the lawyers.
