All the office bearers, including the newly elected president and secretary said that they would work with full dedication in the interest of the association and the advocates.
However, many advocates could not exercise their right to vote. According to information, advocates registered after April 2025 were not allowed to vote. Apart from this, advocates who had not deposited their dues (fees) were also not able to cast their vote. Under the election rules, only those advocates were given the right to vote whose registration was done within the stipulated time limit and whose all liabilities were deposited in full.
