India's Supreme Court begins hearing challenges to direct appointment of lawyers with seven years’ bar experience as district judges.
The Supreme Court’s five-judge Constitution Bench, led by Chief Justice BR Gavai, began hearing a constitutional challenge on September 23, 2025, over whether judicial officers with seven years of prior advocacy experience are eligible for direct appointment as district judges under the bar quota.
The case, stemming from 30 petitions, focuses on interpreting Article 233 of the Constitution and whether combined bar and judicial service experience counts toward the seven-year requirement.
The court is considering whether eligibility should be assessed at application, appointment, or both, and cautioned against interpretations that could allow minimal bar practice to qualify.
The outcome could reshape judicial recruitment across India and address concerns over stagnation and attrition in the judiciary.
