The Delhi High Court designated 85 advocates as Senior Advocates after the Full Court approved the proposal on July 9, 2026, conferring the honour under Section 16(2) of the Advocates Act, 1961, recognising their professional excellence and standing.
The Delhi High Court will now function on the first and third Saturday of every month following a Full Court decision. The move aims to reduce pending cases, despite earlier objections from the Bar over workload and work–life balance.
