The Supreme Court has agreed to examine a plea by the SCBA seeking a dedicated welfare fund for advocates practicing in the Apex Court. The Court observed that such a fund is “the need of the hour” and issued notice to the Centre and Bar Councils.
The Supreme Court refused to interfere with its earlier judgment cancelling over 23,000 West Bengal SSC appointments, asking affected candidates to approach the Calcutta High Court. The Court reiterated that only untainted candidates may seek limited relief while ensuring “tainted candidates” do not re-enter the system.
