To,
The Hon’ble Chief Justice, 
High Court of Karnataka,
Bengaluru
Respected Sir. 
The Karnataka State Bar Council express its sincere gratitude on behalf of Legal Fraternity of Karnataka and Advocates of Bengaluru in particular  and also on my own behalf for your intervention in directing the State Government in appointing Nodal Officer exclusively to look after the Advocates of Bengaluru.  I am very happy to say that BBMP has nominated Dr. Venkatesh as a Nodal Officer. 
I would like to bring to your kind notice that  there are around 1,10,000 Advocates  across the State and 198 Advocates Associations in the State.  These Advocates Associations are at the District and Taluka Headquarters across the State.  The COVID 19 2nd wave is spreading in a fastest manner and affecting the entire community in a more stringent way.   Though the State Government is trying its level best to provide the necessary medical assistance and related facilities,  unfortunately it is not able to cop up with the demand.   The Karnataka State Bar Council is getting calls from the Advocates and their family members very frequently as they are facing acute and critical situation in getting the medical assistance such as beds, ventilators, oxygen etc. This state of pandemic and trauma is leading to most of the Advocates and their family members to a very crucial situation of helplessness.  Hence I request your goodself to direct the State Government to consider the situation and to nominate Nodal Officers at each District  and Taluka headquarters.  The Nodal Officer will be the single focal contact point for all the Advocates and their family members to get the medical assistance and other related issues.  
It is also suggested to utilize the experience and expertizeness of the District Judges, Officers of Legal Services Authority, Members of the Bar Council and Advocates Associations in co-ordinating with the Nodal Officer to device the speedy and effective  mechanism to reach programme to reach the infected Advocates and their family members. 
I would like to bring to your kind notice that most of the Advocates and their family members who are suffering with COVID 19 are in the state of panic and they definitely needs consolation.  It is suggested to your honour to organize a motivational speech and psychiatrist  advice through a panel of experts under your guidance.  
As most of our young Advocates are working as Corona Warriors and helping the community in the possible way and they are trying their level best to bridge the gap between the Administration and patients and they are more likely to be infected by the corona virus.  In such situations,  infected Advocates should be provided medical assistance and facilities on priority.
In the above context,  I, once again request your honour to direct the State Government not only in appointing the Nodal officers at District and Taluka Headquarters but also to open COVID 19 clinics at the Court Premises as a channel of primary contact. 
With regards,Yours sincerely,
(L.Srinivasa Babu, Chairman)
