SC directs States / UTs to allow old lawyers to continue for 6 weeks

New Delhi, Apr 2 (UNI) The Supreme Court said on Tuesday that after the elections, if there is a change in the government, the States /Union Territories must ensure that while changing the panel of advocates, the old panel should continue for at least six weeks so that the courts are not forced to grant adjournments.
