 "Delhi govt says it may exempt lawyers in the next odd-even scheme")
Advocate Rahul Mehra, appearing for the Delhi government told the High Court today that it would consider exempting lawyers in the next odd-even scheme if implemented again in the future.
"The Delhi government said that since the ongoing odd-even scheme is about to expire on April 30, the petitioner's contentions will be considered in case the scheme is implemented again," the bench of Chief Justice G. Rohini and Justice Jayant Shah said after recording the submission of the government.
The Delhi High Court had on Monday asked the government to see whether lawyers could be exempted from the current odd-even scheme implemented by the government between April 15-30 and asked the government to furnish their reply in court today.
The April 11 notification of the odd-even scheme was challenged by Advocate Rajiv Khosla, president of the Delhi High Court Bar Association, requesting exemption of lawyers from the scheme as the fraternity assisted the courts in promoting civil rights and personal liberties of citizens.
The petition also challenged the 2000-rupee fine imposed by the government claiming it to be arbitrary, illegal and unreasonable in nature.
