Right to Cross-Examine Under Haryana Rent Act | Bar Association Strike Cannot Deny Procedural Fairness : Punjab & Haryana HC

The court emphasized that judicial proceedings cannot be stalled by unlawful professional abstentions, reinforcing the mandatory nature of procedural fairness in civil disputes.
