The Supreme Court of India has designated seven former High Court judges as Senior Advocates following a Full Court meeting led by the Chief Justice of India. A March 19, 2026 notification grants retrospective effect from March 18, 2026.
Supreme Court upholds Delhi High Court rule barring retired judges from other states from applying for senior advocate status. CJI tells petitioner: “Why don’t you apply to the Supreme Court… In the Supreme Court, everybody can apply.”
