The Madras High Court has barred elected candidates in Bar Associations and Advocates’ Associations in Tamil Nadu from contesting elections to the elected posts a second time continuously, clarifying that such candidates are allowed to contest in elections in alternate intervals (V Madhesh v. The Secretary, Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry). Among various directives, the High Court has also directed the Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry to ensure that elected office bearers of Bar/ Advocate Associations do not print photographs on calendars or their names along with their position in vakalaths, after taking note of certain concerns raised over the same. The order was passed by a Bench of Justices N Kirubakaran and R Pongiappan in a case concerning the Salem Bar elections, which are now slated to be conducted by April 26
