The Odisha State Bar Council has decided to conduct the elections of these three bar associations, which had earlier been postponed, in a proper and systematic manner. The Chairman of the Council, Sitanshu Mohan Dwivedi, informed this through a press release on Friday.
According to the information, based on the “One Bar One Vote” policy implemented since 2019, elections for all affiliated bar associations in the state were conducted on March 28 this year under the direct supervision and control of the Odisha State Bar Council.

Now, as per the Council’s decision, the concerned bar associations have been instructed to conduct the elections. Their presidents and secretaries have been asked to immediately convene general meetings and appoint election officers.
