Live Law  

The Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry has written to the Chief Justice of India and other judges of the Supreme Court Collegium calling for inclusive representation while appointing judges to the Madras High Court. The letter signed by PS Amalraj, Chairman and Senior Advocate S Prabhakaran and V Karyhikeyan, Vice Chairmen of the council requested the collegium take into consideration all the eligible and suitable aspirants for elevation as the Judges and to include all sections of advocates from different sects of society, to maintain an essential balance. Citing the ruling of the Supreme Court in Registrar General, High Court of Madras v. R.Gandhi and others, the letter highlighted that in the case, though the Supreme Court had refrained from judicial review, it had highlighted that during the course of appointment, there could not be any exclusivity from any isolated group or from any pre-dominated group and diversity should be maintained in the appointments by making judicial appointments considering the individuals legal acumen coupled with qualitative personality as guiding factors. Thus, through the letter, the bar council requested the collegium to consider the names of candidates from different sections of the society including minorities and to ensure socio-economic justice and social diversity in the Higher Judiciary.
