Supreme Court Issues Notice to High Courts on Reconsidering 'Indira Jaising' Judgments

The Supreme Court will hear a case on reconsidering two judgments that govern the process of granting the Senior Advocate title to lawyers.

The Court has issued notices to all High Courts and relevant parties, seeking their responses and suggestions. 

Senior Advocate Indira Jaising has argued that if the judgments are to be reconsidered, it should be done by a larger bench, and the Court has allowed her to present her views.

The case raises concerns about whether the current system ensures only deserving candidates receive the designation and if it fairly evaluates lawyers, especially those from trial courts.
