A senior advocate is not permitted to appear without an Advocate-on-record or any junior. The proposal for designation is published on the official website of the concerned court, inviting suggestions and views. After that, the permanent secretariat forwards these proposals to the permanent committee for scrutiny. The committee then interviews the candidate and makes an overall evaluation based on years of practice, pro-bono work undertaken, judgments, publications, and a personality test. Once a candidate’s name is approved, it will be forwarded to the Full Court to decide on the basis of the majority. If the candidate gets the apt votes, then he is allowed to be designated as a senior advocate but if rejected then the applicant can send the application again only after the lapse of two years. The Full Court can also recall the designation of a senior advocate. The CJI or any other judge could recommend the name of an advocate for designation. Alternatively, advocates could submit their applications, to be evaluated on criteria like 10-20 years of legal practice as an advocate, district judge, or judicial member of an Indian tribunal Context – The Central government is seeking to change guidelines for the designation of senior lawyers, issued by the Supreme Court in the aftermath of its 2017 ruling in the case of ‘Indira Jaising vs. Union of India’.
