JAMMU, Feb 28: A joint meeting of the office bearers of Jammu & Kashmir High Court Bar Association, Jammu (JKHCBAJ) and the Young Lawyers Association was convened today to condemn the contemptuous remarks made by Cabinet Minister Satish Sharma, who is also the member of the Bar.
It was observed that Satish Sharma brazenly undermined the dignity, functioning, and independence of the judiciary and the legal fraternity. The members expressed profound dismay over the derogatory comments, which strike at the core of judicial autonomy. Following deliberations, both the associations resolved to escalate the matter to the Executive Committee on Thursday, March 5, 2026.
The Association will evaluate the actions to be taken against the Minister, including filing a contempt petition, issuing a show-cause notice demanding an explanation, expelling Satish Sharma from membership of the Association and any other measures deemed necessary to safeguard judicial integrity by the Executive Committee of the association.
The meeting was attended by President Nirmal Kotwal, General Secretary Pardeep Majotra, Joint Secretary Anshu Mahajan, Treasurer Rahul Aggarwal, and office bearers of YLA, including President Amandeep Sharma, Vice President Bhagirath and General Secretary Saksham Gupta.
