The supreme court has published new guidelines for which designation on 17 July 2023?
District Judge
Senior Advocate
Judicial Magistrate
Additional Senior Civil Judge
Senior Advocate
The Supreme Court of India issued new, standardized guidelines for the designation of Senior Advocates on 17 July 2023.
The Supreme Court introduced these guidelines to bring transparency, objectivity, and a structured points-based system to the process of designating Senior Advocates. The move followed long-standing criticism regarding the lack of clear criteria in the selection process, which was previously perceived as opaque. By mandating a uniform framework, the Court aimed to ensure that only the most deserving legal practitioners are elevated to this prestigious rank. The guidelines mandate a permanent secretariat to evaluate applications based on specific performance criteria.
The designation of Senior Advocates is governed by Section 16 of the Advocates Act, 1961. This section empowers the Supreme Court or a High Court to designate an advocate as a Senior Advocate if it is of the opinion that the advocate possesses exceptional skill and standing at the Bar.
Date of notification: 17 July 2023
Governing legislation: Advocates Act, 1961 (Section 16)
Primary change: Implementation of a points-based selection system for transparency
Institutional body: Establishment of a Permanent Secretariat for the Committee for Designation of Senior Advocates
B is correct тАФ The Supreme Court issued updated, standardized guidelines for the designation of Senior Advocates on 17 July 2023.
Remember that Senior Advocate is a professional rank under the Advocates Act, 1961, distinct from judicial posts like District Judges which are covered under Articles 233-236 of the Constitution.
