The Supreme Court of India refused to order reservation for OBC advocates in the appointment of government pleaders in Madhya Pradesh, citing absence of any statutory mandate. However, the Court strongly urged the MP Advocate General to ensure fair representation of marginalised communities and women in future appointments.
The Kerala High Court directed the State Government to clarify whether Government Pleaders are classified as Gazetted Officers within one month. This decision arose from a petition concerning marriage registration, where the application was rejected due to attestation issues. The Court emphasized the need for clarity on this status to avoid confusion.
