The Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry has written to the Chief Justice of Madras High Court- Justice SV Gangapurwala requesting the CJ and the Collegium judges to consider the names of candidates hailing from different sections of the society including minorities while recommending names for elevation to the bench and to give adequate representation to ensure socio economic justice and social diversity in the Higher Judiciary. At this juncture, the letter says that while recommending names to be considered for elevation to the higher judiciary, the High Court Collegium may consider providing equal opportunity to all the eligible and suitable aspirants from all sections of advocates who have well-trained legal minds. The Council also pointed out the Apex Court's observation in Registrar General, High Court of Madras v. R Gandhi and Others, addressing the issue of inadequate representation from certain segments in the bench which could cause an imbalance in the diversity of the country and interfere with the spirit of equality which was the core of our constitutional principles. Thus, the Bar Council requested the CJ and the Collegium judges to ensure adequate representation to lawyers from all sections of society including minorities and women while considering names for elevation into the higher judiciary.
