This is first time after since March 2021 that the lawyers have been conferred the senior gown. In 2021, 55 lawyers had been appointed as Senior Advocates.
The Senior Advocate designation rules were amended in March 2024.
As per the new rules under the High Court of Delhi Designation of Senior Advocate Rules, 2024, all matters related to designation of Senior Advocates are dealt with by a Permanent Committee.
The Committee consists of the Chief Justice and two senior-most judges of the High Court, the Additional Solicitor General, a Senior Advocate nominated by the Administrative Committee from among three lawyers suggested by the Delhi government, and a nominated member of the Bar Association.
A list of candidates is prepared by the Secretariat of the Permanent Committee, compiling their data and past records. Apart from the interview component, the Permanent Committee assesses the candidates on several factors such as number of years of practice, pro bono work, publications, etc.
