New Delhi: <\/strong>The Bar Council of India (BCI) yesterday wrote to the Chief Justice and his companion judges of Madras High Court to recall the \u201cThe Madras High Court Designation of Senior Advocates Rules 2020\u201d and to have a uniform guideline concerning designation of senior advocates. The BCI has also requested the judges to keep the rules in abeyance until the guidelines are framed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The letter has been written to draw to the judges\u2019 attention to the difficulties being faced by the aspiring advocates and senior advocates due to the recently notified Rules for Designation of Senior Advocates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The letter has cited the Supreme Court\u2019s judgement in the case of Indira Jaising, where the Court issued uniform guidelines to be followed for designation of Advocates as Senior Advocates. The guidelines were issued to govern the exercise of designation of senior advocates by Supreme Court and all High Courts in the country. The Supreme Court has never asked High Courts to frame rules in case of senior designation, and has only asked them to follow the directions laid down by the Apex Court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
