A SCBA member reached out to Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal, the association’s president, urging him to fulfill his election promise of providing a group insurance policy for members and their families. This initiative was a key part of Sibal’s campaign, aiming to offer financial security and support to SCBA members.

In a letter to Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal, President of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA), member Reepak Kansal has urged the prompt implementation of a group insurance policy for SCBA members and their families.
This request underscores a key commitment Sibal made during his SCBA election campaign to establish a health insurance scheme aimed at safeguarding members’ well-being.
Kansal in his letter dated November 12 stated,
“As a dedicated member of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA), I am writing to kindly remind you of the commitment made towards providing a comprehensive group insurance policy for the members of our esteemed SCBA as well as their family members. This initiative is of utmost importance as it will ensure that our members and their families are adequately protected and have access to essential health services in times of need,”
Kansal previously addressed a similar letter to Sibal in October, reiterating the demand for a group insurance policy. Emphasizing the urgent need for healthcare coverage, Kansal noted that many SCBA members are eagerly awaiting this policy for their medical security.
He urged Sibal to prioritize fulfilling this promise, calling it a significant step toward the welfare of members.
The letter stated,
“Many of our SCBA members are looking forward to this policy for their medical security, and its implementation will be a significant step toward the welfare of our members. I humbly request you to take the necessary steps to fulfil this promise at the earliest. I remain hopeful that under your leadership, this important benefit will soon be available to all,”
Recently, SCBA members raised concerns over Sibal’s alleged lack of support for collective member interests.
Senior Advocate Aggarwala criticized Sibal’s decision not to endorse a recent resolution calling for a boycott of the Supreme Court Museum’s inauguration, scheduled for November 7, 2024.
