Supreme Court Bars Senior Advocates from Arguing During Partial Court Working Days
The Supreme Court has barred senior advocates from mentioning or arguing cases during partial court working days, effective until July 12, to encourage young lawyers and advocates-on-record to present their cases. This policy, announced by benches including those led by Justices Vikram Nath and P.S. Narasimha, applies to urgent listings and hearings. Matters involving senior advocates will not be dismissed but deferred until normal court sessions resume. The partial working days replace the traditional summer vacation, with three to four benches sitting weekly during this period.
