Live Law  

The Madras High Court on Friday stayed the Madras Bar Association elections that was scheduled to be held on August 21.A Bench comprising Justice N Kirubakaran and Justice R Pongiappan issued the interim order on the ground that the Bar Association had failed to verify the certificate of practice of its individual members with the Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. The Madras High Court on Friday stayed the Madras Bar Association elections that was scheduled to be held on August 21. Thus, the petitioner prayed for a stay on the elections on the following grounds- i) no proper publication of the list of members which was registered under the Societies Act ii) no intimation made to the Registrar of Societies before conducting the election iii) the payment of subscription for the previous year in the pandemic situation for full members to exercise their voting rights in highly arbitrary and discriminatory in nature especially full members have been prevented from voting in the election vi) More than 50 percent of the members of the Madras Bar Association are senior citizens and as advised by the Government the senior citizens are advised not to leave their residence till the pandemic is solely eradicated. The petition had also alleged that "there are certain vested interest in the Bar Association who wanted to conduct physical voting in the pandemic situation by preventing more than 45% members from exercising their franchise on the sole ground that they have not paid the subscription for the previous yearning 31.3.2021 before 7.7.2021."
