Bar Not Consulted' : SCAORA Requests CJI Sanjiv Khanna To Remove Glass Panels In Corridors, Relocate National Judicial Museum

The Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association (SCAORA) requested Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna to reconsider the installation of glass corridors and the relocation of the National Judicial Museum within the Supreme Court premises. The group argued that these changes were made without consulting the Bar and raised concerns about accessibility, functionality, and aesthetics. SCAORA emphasized the importance of maintaining a practical workspace for lawyers and litigants. Concerns were also raised over the potential impact on court operations and lawyer-client interactions. The association sought transparency and inclusivity in designing infrastructure changes within judicial institutions. The request underscores the need for collaborative efforts between the judiciary and Bar to ensure smooth functioning of courts and preserve professional standards. This appeal highlights the broader issue of stakeholder consultation in legal and infrastructural reforms affecting judicial processes.
