Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court recalled its order dated 21st October 2016, allowing for fuller arguments in Writ Petition (C) No. 454 of 2015 concerning the designation of senior advocates under Sections 16 and 23(5) of the Advocates Act, 1961. The Court found it appropriate to hear this matter alongside Writ Petition (C) No. 6331 of 2016, which challenges the constitutional validity of the same sections. The Court emphasized the importance of addressing the dissatisfaction among the bar regarding the designation process, ensuring all voices are heard before a final decision is made.
