The Bar Council of India on Monday wrote a letter to Chief Justice of India U.U. Lalit, requesting him to consider the elevation of judges of those High Courts and States, which remain unrepresented in the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The letter, penned down by Senior Advocate and BCI Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra, apprised the CJI that some bigger states of the country, having a vast population, have remained unrepresented in the Supreme Court for the past several months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It urged the CJI to consider the issue during the next meeting of the Supreme Court Collegium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mishra said the issue was mentioned before Union Minister for Law and Justice Kiren Rijiju, who appeared positive and practical on the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
