Today, On 2nd September, The Supreme Court is reviewing the legality of two bar associations occupying the same High Court premises in Madhya Pradesh. This comes after the Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled the allocation of premises to one of the associations as unlawful. A status quo has been ordered while the Supreme Court deliberates on the matter, following an appeal by the Senior Advocates Council.
Madhya Pradesh HC’s principal bench in Jabalpur stated that neither the Constitution nor judicial precedent requires reservation or proportional representation in judges’ appointments. This came as a double bench, led by acting Chief Justice Sheel Nagu and Justice Amar Nath Kesherwani, dismissed a petition challenging a judge’s appointment, following an earlier reservation of the order on Advocate Rameshwar Thakur and others’ petition.
