Today (04-02-2025), the First Bench of the Hon’ble Madras High Court took the matter challenging the mandatory E- filling in lower judiciary filed by Federation of Bar Associations and Madras High Court Advocates Association.

Senior Counsel Mr S Prabakaran appeared for the Bar Fedaration and MHAA, where the learned senior counsel placed his gratitude before the Hon’ble Chief Justice for taking immediate actions and resolving the issue by keeping the notification of mandatory e filling in abeyance.

The Hon’ble Chief justice expressed his opinion to Senior Advocate Mr. s. Prabakaran as to why don’t the bar association withdraw the Writ Petition as the matter challenged is kept in abeyance and in case any new grievances arise fresh writ petitions can be filed with regard to those issues. The learned Senior counsel conceded to the opinion of the Hon’ble Chief Justice and also placed his submission on hearing to the grievances of the members of the Bar to which the Hon’ble Chief Justice expressed that the same would be ensured. The learned Senior Counsel also suggested that a committee may be constituted for dealing with these grievances at district level and the Hon’ble Court expressed that the same is being done.

Conceding to the opinion of the Hon’ble Chief Justice senior advocate Mr S Prabakaran withdrew the batch of writ petitions and the Hon’ble Court, on the request of the learned Senior Counsel granted the liberty to agitate things afresh at a later point of time, if any new issue arises.
