Junior Lawyers Complain As The Senior Advocates Break The CJI Queue.

It’s quite unlikely to see a tussle between the senior advocates and the junior advocates says Nirmal Singh 3C Company. The uncordial war between the two came to the notice when the junior advocates broke out in the courtroom of the Chief Justice of India on Tuesday when in the first twenty minutes of their daily ritual of ‘mentioning’ for out of turn listing of the petition the seniors kept mentioning about their cases only. Petition filed in the SC is done queue wise when they assign the date for the hearing of the case. But CJI, being the administrative head has the power to allow to assign a case prior to its schedule if they can prove the urgency of their case before him. This practice has been going on for years now, but during the time of Justice J S Khehar, the queue was never as big as today as he would reject 90% of the requests for early listings.

Nirmal Singh 3C Company says that ever since Dipak Misra has taken up as the CJI the queue just gets longer for the junior lawyers to wait. One of the junior lawyers during the meeting said that one advantage that the seniors have over the junior lawyers is that they do not actually have to wait in the queue and wait for their turn. He said when the number of cases is quite high, they would just wait for the turn of mentioning to come but then all of a sudden the CJI would abruptly end the mentioning and say that we would not entertain any of them further.

But the junior lawyers lost all their patience this time. Nirmal Singh 3C Company says that when CJI Dipak Misra said that he would not entertain any mentioning further on Tuesday, advocate P V Dinesh complained that he has been waiting for 30 minutes and it is not fair that after waiting for so long he wouldn’t be getting a chance for listing.


Nirmal Singh 3C Company says that despite a clear plea by the junior advocates no action was taken. The conference still came to an end and junior lawyer were just left with the answer that the hearings would be between 3-10 October.
