Supreme Court Bar Association & Ors vs B.D. Kaushik

The Supreme Court addressed the administration of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) and the eligibility criteria for its members to vote in elections. The Court held that the criteria for allotment of Chambers established in Vinay Balchandra Joshi Vs. Registrar General of Supreme Court of India [(1998) 7 SCC 461] should be used to identify advocates who practice regularly in the Supreme Court. The Court directed the SCBA to prepare lists categorizing members based on their practice frequency and established a process for members to contest their status, ensuring transparency and fairness in the electoral process.
