Justice L Nageswara Rao Committee Seeks Lawyers’ Input on SCBA Election Reforms

The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) is set to undergo electoral reforms, with a committee led by former Supreme Court Justice L Nageswara Rao reviewing its bye-laws governing elections.

SCBA members have been invited to submit suggestions via email by March 20 on key issues such as eligibility for contesting and voting, tenure and size of the Executive Committee, and grounds for disqualification.

The reform process follows a Supreme Court directive from February 25, where a bench of Justices Surya Kant and NK Singh appointed the Justice Rao-led committee.

The Court has also recently mandated one-third women’s reservation in SCBA posts.
