News India Live, Digital Desk: In an important decision, Allahabad High Court has granted the prestigious status of ‘Senior Advocate’ to 90 lawyers. The special thing is that five women advocates have also succeeded in making their place in this list. This step of the High Court is being seen as a positive development in the judicial field.
The committee headed by the Chief Justice took the decision
This decision was taken in the ‘Full Court’ meeting chaired by Justice Pritinkar Diwakar, Chief Justice of Allahabad High Court. Apart from the Chief Justice, other senior judges were also included in this committee. The committee gave its final approval to the names of these 90 lawyers on the basis of various criteria, such as advocacy experience, legal knowledge, honesty and professional ethics.
Five women lawyers created history
Five women lawyers who have got the status of senior advocate have set a new example. The women advocates included in this list are:
- Anamika Jeweler
- Smita Ambedkar
- Priyanka Middha
- Priyadarshini Patel
- Preeti Sinha
This honor not only recognizes her personal legal ability, but will also inspire young women lawyers to move forward in this field.
What is the status of ‘Senior Advocate’?
The designation of ‘Senior Advocate’ is considered a great honor for any lawyer. This status is given to those lawyers who have made extraordinary contribution in the field of law and have created a distinct identity for themselves. This designation is given by the High Court or the Supreme Court.
A senior advocate has a different identity in the court. They usually do not file cases directly, but argue cases prepared by junior lawyers. Their fees are also higher than that of ordinary lawyers.
After this decision, all these 90 lawyers will henceforth be known as a senior advocate in Allahabad High Court. This is not only a recognition of his long and successful career, but also a testament to his expertise in the judiciary.
