The Supreme Court today questioned the Delhi High Court’s involvement in deciding the main bar body for the Rouse Avenue District Court. The High Court’s recognition of the Central Delhi Court Bar Association was disputed by other bar associations. The Supreme Court issued notice on the appeal and scheduled further consideration after four weeks.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court dismissed the petition by the High Court Advocates Bar Association for separate recognition. The court stressed that existing bar associations adequately address the objectives and welfare schemes outlined in relevant legislation. It emphasized the need for substantive justifications when seeking separate recognition, particularly when current frameworks suffice.
