In an important development, the Rajasthan High Court Lawyers’ Association had initially written to the Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court, seeking a five-day "No Work" period. The request was made in light of what the association described as a "sensitive and volatile situation" in the region. However, the association has since withdrawn the request, and regular work has resumed from today.
“We appeal for caution and temporary suspension of work due to the ongoing law and order concerns,” the association had earlier stated in its letter.
The letter sent by the association highlighted that the request was purely based on security concerns, aiming to prevent any unfortunate events. The association mentioned a tense law and order situation, along with a sustained communication blackout and the threat from separatist and disruptive forces. These circumstances, they argued, posed a direct threat to the safety of lawyers, litigants, judicial officers, and other stakeholders.
“This appeal is made solely to ensure the safety and security of all stakeholders involved with the judiciary,” the association clarified.

The appeal urged the Chief Justice to consider the declaration of a no-work period from May 12 to May 16, 2025, covering both the Rajasthan High Court and the subordinate courts across the state.
The association emphasized that this step was not political but entirely precautionary. Their concern was to safeguard all legal professionals and ensure that the judiciary operates in a secure environment.
“In view of the prevailing situation, this request is a precautionary measure, not a protest or boycott,” the association added.

“After reviewing the updated conditions, we have chosen to withdraw our earlier request. Work in courts will now continue as usual,” said the association in its final update.
