Federation Of Bar Associations In ... vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court dismissed a writ petition filed by the Federation of Bar Associations in Karnataka under Article 32 of the Constitution, seeking the establishment of a High Court bench in northern Karnataka. The Court held that the demand for additional benches, while understandable, is not a fundamental right and noted that a committee of judges had previously disapproved the proposal. The Court emphasized that practical implementation of such demands could lead to significant administrative challenges and inefficiencies.
