New Delhi, Sep 20 (PTI) The Supreme
Court today put an end to the old practice of allowing senior lawyers to
mention cases seeking their out-of-turn listing and hearing.
A bench headed by Chief Justice
Dipak Misra also made clear that now onwards only Advocates-on-Record (AoR)
would be authorised to mention cases for out-of-turn hearing.
Yesterday, the bench which also
comprise Justices Amitava Roy and A M Khanwilkar had expressed annoyance after
a lawyer complained that while his senior colleagues were being allowed to
mention matters for urgent hearing, junior members of the bar were denied such
opportunities.
