entertain plea:
The Supreme Court today dismissed the petition challenging the appointment of
the Additional Judge of the Allahabad High Court, Justice RK Gautam.
The petitioner was represented by Senior Counsel Vikas Singh, who pressed for
the matter to be considered, but to no avail.
This report was challenged on the judicial side. The Allahabad High Court
dismissed the same, on the ground that the complaint was not supported by an
affidavit. The report was then challenged before the Supreme Court. However,
while these proceedings were pending, Gautam J. was recommended for elevation
to the High Court by the Supreme Court Collegium.
“I saved you, else foreign firms might have taken over your work”, Justice Arun
Mishra:
Supreme Court judge Justice Arun Mishra today made some interesting remarks
regarding restrictions on the entry of foreign law firms into India.
Sitting along with Justice S Abdul Nazeer and Justice MR Shah, Justice Arun
Mishra was hearing submissions made by Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu
Singhvi in a case concerning additional gross revenue when he made the remarks.
Interestingly, Mishra J. also said that with globalisation, things have to change,
perhaps hinting that he might not be inclined to stick to his previous stance on the
issue.
The issue of foreign law firms and lawyers being allowed to practice in India has
always been a contentious one.
