Ajayinder Sangwan & Ors. v. Bar Council of Delhi
Background
This is an interim order, not a final judgment. A transferred case before the Court concerns verification of advocates' law degrees ahead of State Bar Council elections. Several applications were filed in it seeking to be added as parties and asking for clarification and modification of the Court's earlier interim directions dated 23 August 2017.
Decision Breakdown
This is an interim order, not a final judgment. The Court modified its earlier directions, extending the verification deadlines and provisionally allowing advocates who had submitted documents but were not yet verified onto the electoral rolls, subject to later correction. It said the result of the elections would be subject to the final result of the petition. The main matter was to be heard further in the second week of March 2018.
Lesson Learnt
There is no final ruling yet in the case on verification of advocates' degrees. Bar Council election results remain subject to the final outcome.
