The Calcutta High Court Bar Association has unanimously resolved to abstain from work tomorrow (22nd August) over the alleged brutal and barbaric assault by members of the Bidhannagar East Police Station on advocate Manujendra Narayan Roy, who is also the son of a retired High Court judge, resulting in the fracture of the advocate's pelvic bone.

In a meeting of the Association, it was unanimously resolved that as a mark of protest against the police atrocities perpetrated upon Manujendra Narayan Roy, the Members of the Bar Association will not participate in any judicial proceedings in any mode and manner before the High Court Court tomorrow i.e. 22.08.2025 from 10:30 am onwards, until proper and satisfactory punitive measure and/or action is taken against the erring police personnel who deliberately and brutally assaulted the advocate.

The Bar Association shall review the situation on Monday, i.e. 25.08.2025 at 10:30 am, after being informed as to what punitive measures were taken against the erring police personnel.
