India, Sept. 8 -- Lawyers practising in Delhi's trial court have rejected the Bar Council of India's (BCI) call for suspension of the strike scheduled to start from Monday and said that their agitation will go ahead as planned. Earlier week long strike was paused after intervention of Union Home Minister Amit Shah and held Delhi LG's notification allowing police officers to depose virtually.

In a statement issued on Saturday evening, the Co-ordination Committee All District Courts Bar Associations of Delhi said that they stand by their demand that police personnel must appear physically in courts for the purpose of deposition/evidence. The indefinite strike will continue from September 8 in a more intensified manner, said the committee.
