Members of Ahmedabad Bar Association and Ahmedabad Small Cause Court Bar Association, both based in the Bhadra court campus, decided to continue boycotting court proceedings until Oct 10, as resolved earlier by the associations.
Choksi walked away from the gathering, following which Bar members expressed their displeasure and announced that he had been removed as president. They also announced the removal of Small Cause Court Bar president Jayshankar Prajapati. The lawyers announced advocate Vinod Dixit as working president of Ahmedabad Bar Association, with advocates Ilyas Pathan and Kamlesh Patel as vice-presidents.

“This is not possible for the state govt without calling the House to assemble because the Bill has already been passed,” a lawyer said. Contacted later, Choksi said the move to remove him was “ex facie illegal”. “We are the elected representatives of the Bar and a few members cannot remove us at their will in this fashion,” he said.
They demanded a written commitment that govt would withdraw the Bill. When Ahmedabad Bar Association president Jagat Choksi insisted that the strike be called off following the BCG’s meeting with state representatives, lawyers refused to agree. Advocate C V Viramgami was declared working president of the Small Cause Court Bar Association. The decision to continue the strike also found support among lawyers in Dholka and Mehsana courts.
