Supreme Court Asks Dhulia Committee To Consider Plea To Postpone Kerala Bar Council Elections

The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the High Powered Election Committee headed by Justice (retired) Sudhanshu Dhulia to consider the request to postpone the Kerala State Bar Council Elections.

The request for deferment has been made in the light of the High Court summer vacations, which start from April 10, as well as the Assembly elections, which are likely to be notified soon.

A bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi directed Justice Dhulia committee to examine the matter.

As per the schedule fixed by the Court, the Kerala Bar Council elections have to be completed before April 30.
