On the other hand, a projection meeting was also held yesterday, a day before the Bar Association elections, in which a large number of lawyers participated, while the Bar Association also made a special request to the judges not to issue reverse orders in cases due to the projection meeting, due to which the hearing of the majority of the cases under hearing yesterday was adjourned without action.
