No Dearth Of Eligible Advocates In High Courts" Andhra Pradesh HC Advocates' Association Asks For Withdrawal Of Statements Made By SCBA

Live Law  

The Andhra Pradesh High Court Advocate's Association has written to Supreme Court Bar Association's President asking him to withdraw the "offensive comments" made against lawyers practising in High Courts in the letter dated 8th June 2021 regarding elevation of Supreme Court Lawyers as High Court Judges. While calling the comments made against High Court lawyers offensive and disgraceful, the Association has also requested SCBA to stall constitution of Search Committee proposed by it to identify the deserving and the meritorious Supreme Court lawyers. The Association through its letter on Friday has made this request referring to SCBA's letter signed by its President Senior Advocate Vikas Singh which informed that CJI has agreed to SCBA's request to consider those practicing in the Supreme Court for elevation as High Courts Judges. The Association has objected to the 'unprecedented comment' in the letter calling Supreme Court lawyers professionally more meritorious than their colleagues at the High Courts, calling it completely uncalled for, and 'rather disgraceful for the President of an Association of Advocates' to say about fellow colleagues.
