“Consequently, any member of the bar found flouting the resolution/directive shall be heavily sanctioned accordingly,” it said.The branch added: “That the bar resolves to write to the judges of the criminal division of the high court of the state to dispense speedily with cases of kidnapping and armed robbery pending before them.
