The Supreme Court has given notice to the Allahabad High Court on a plea against the seniority status of lawyers in the High Court. Vishnu Bihari Tiwari, an Allahabad High Court lawyer, has moved the Supreme Court challenging the procedure of lawyers' seniority status in 2019.
Tiwari moved a special leave petition in the Supreme Court after it was rejected by the Allahabad High Court. A bench comprising Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjwal Bhuiyan, while hearing last Friday, issued notice to the Allahabad High Court and others, made respondents in the petition.
At the hearing, the bench was concerned about the High Court going against what had been laid out in the Supreme Court's Indira Jaisingh judgment. The bench stated that the High Court altered the Indira Jaisingh judgment in its wisdom. The Allahabad High Court's judgment last September has been challenged in the Supreme Court by Vishnu Bihari Tiwari in this matter.
