Candidate who took last year’s AOR exam and were declared eligible to reappear have now moved the Supreme Court, filing a petition challenging the decision to cancel the Advocates-on-Record examination for 2026, which they say is unfair now.
The Supreme Court of India has announced that the 2026 Advocates-on-Record (AOR) Examination stands cancelled after assessing the “overall strength” of practicing AORs. The April 30 notification confirms the exam will resume next year as per the Competent Authority’s orders.
