The list of senior lawyers comprising the names of 26 Advocates, including 11 from Jodhpur & 15 from Jaipur, which was released by the registrar general of the Rajasthan HC on Monday, triggered controversy in the judicial fraternity.
Lawyers claimed that several eminent names were left out. One of the lawyers even served a notice for a sit-in protest in front of the Gandhi statue on the high court premises in Jaipur.
Vimal Chaudhary, who had started practicing in 1977, but was rejected during the selection, said he will stage a protest on the High Court premises. Another lawyer, Poonam Chand Bhandari, said eminent lawyers had been neglected during the appointment of 'senior lawyers' in Rajasthan HC, due to which the lawyers’ community was feeling humiliated.
Bhandari, the president of Rajasthan High Court Senior Lawyers Bar Association, said about 126 senior lawyers had applied for seniority.
He said many lawyers, who had been practicing in Rajasthan HC for about 30 to 50 years & fought thousands of cases, were ignored.
The Chief Justice & second senior-most Judge of the HC had joined only a few months ago, so perhaps they did not have information about the reputation of all advocates & the senior advocates had not been selected, he said, seeking a revision of the list.
