Supreme Court Rejects Plea on Delhi High Court Senior Designations

The Supreme Court has dismissed a plea alleging that the Delhi High Court failed to reconsider applications from the earlier Senior Advocate designation process. 

The Bench led by CJI Surya Kant clarified that High Courts are already updating their rules and emphasized that members of the Bar should not generate unnecessary litigation. 

The Court’s April 2025 order had directed the Delhi High Court to revisit rejected or deferred applications, following concerns over the Permanent Committee’s functioning, including the deferral of 67 candidates and designation of 70 out of 302 applicants.
