CJI Ramana Agrees To Consider SCBA Proposal For Elevation Of Supreme Court Lawyers As High Court Judges
NV Ramana, the Chief Justice of India, has agreed to consider the Supreme Court Bar Association's plea to explore promoting Supreme Court lawyers to High Court judges. The development comes in response to a suggestion made by the Supreme Court Bar Association.
The SCBA argued before the CJI that, despite having extensive experience and exposure in dealing with a wide range of issues relating to civil, criminal, constitutional, and commercial law, lawyers practising in the Supreme Court are rarely considered for elevation by the High Court Collegium because they do not regularly practise before the High Court and are therefore more professionally meritorious than lawyers practising in the lower courts.
