Maintain Old Panel Of Advocates For At Least Six Weeks After Govt Change To Avoid Adjournments: Supreme Court To States/UTs

Live Law  

Recently, the Supreme Court expressed its dilemma regarding how, for the last few months, the panel of Advocates in the States/Union Territories has witnessed change after the shift in political power. The Court added, “It is true that the States/Union Territories have the power to change their empanelled Advocates, but while doing so, they must ensure that the Court's functioning is not adversely affected.” Against this backdrop, the Top Court has proposed that the States/Union Territories maintain the previous panel of Advocates for at least six weeks while changing the panel of Advocates. “Therefore, it will be appropriate if the States/Union Territories while changing the panel of Advocates continue the old panel for at least 06 weeks so that the Courts are not forced to grant adjournments. Further, the State Counsel informed the Court that the panel change occurred because no change had occurred for the last 07 to 08 years.
