The Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association (SCAORA) has objected to Supreme Court Bar Association President (SCBA) Vikas Singh’s request to abolish the Advocate-on-Record (AoR) test for lawyers with more than ten years of experience at the bar.
SCAORA criticised the president of the SCBA’s letter to India’s Chief Justice, Justice N.V. Ramana. ‘The Executive Committee of SCAORA hereby unanimously concluded that the stated request made via the said letter is arbitrary, lacks foresight, and is contrary to well established process and practise in the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India,’ they wrote in response to the letter. As a result, it is categorically condemned’.
SCBA President Vikas Singh wrote a letter to the CJI on May 19 requesting that Order IV Rule 5(ii) of the Supreme Court Rules, 2013 be amended to address the qualifying of AoRs.
According to the SCAORA, the proposed amendment will have a negative impact on the administration and dispensing of justice because it is detrimental to the interests of ordinary litigants.
The SCAORA has now resolved to send the CJI a formal complaint to Singh’s letter.

Vikas Singh to amend established Supreme Court Rules,’ the SCAORA resolution stated.
