. NEW DELHI: The Bar Council of India (BCI) and the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) on Wednesday have urged CJI Surya Kant to urgently intervene after an Andhra Pradesh HC judge decides to send a young lawyer to 24-hour judicial custody, despite his repeated pleas for mercy over a purported misdemeanour.BCI president Manan Kumar Mishra wrote to CJI: “Incidents of this nature have a chilling effect upon young members of the Bar. They create fear in their minds. The dignity of the court is not enhanced when a lawyer is made to beg for grace in open court and is still sent to custody for a procedural lapse.”Based on a video of the incident in HC on social media, SCBA, led by its president Vikas Singh, passed a resolution on Wednesday.Any action that causes fear, humiliation or intimidation amongst young advocates has the potential to adversely impact the independence of the Bar and the optimal operation of justice delivery system,” the SCBA resolution read.SCBA requested the CJI to call for relevant records from the HC and take corrective measures on administrative side in the interest of preserving public confidence in judiciary and maintaining cordial Bar-Bench relations. BCI’s Misra, too, made a similar request.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos‘Congress Will Be Wiped Out Everywhere’: DMK Warns Cong Over Support To Vijay’s TVK2 Dead, 200+ FIRs, 433 Arrested, Over 1100 Detained In Post-Poll Violence In West Bengal‘Asked Me To Pay Rs 5 Crore’: Ex-Cricketer Makes Shocking Claim On TMC After Bengal PollsPakistan Navy Helps Stranded Indian Ship In Arabian Sea After Distress Call: ReportTVK Emerges Largest, But Vijay Needs Critical Backing To Form Govt; Will He Succeed?Election Commission Blocks 68 Lakh Cyber Attacks; ECINET Handles Record Traffic on Counting Day‘Directly Promoting ISI Narrative’: BJP Slams Bhagwant Mann’s Remark On Punjab BlastsIndia–Vietnam Upgrade Ties | $25 Billion Trade Push, UPI Link & Big Strategic Signal to China‘Shortage Of Funds’: Akhilesh Yadav Reveals Why SP Ended Contract With I-PAC Ahead Of UP PollsTeesta Issue Explained: Can Bengal Result Unlock Deal As China Factor Raises Stakes123PhotostoriesFrom Karan Johar to Dwayne Johnson: How Manish Malhotra quietly took over the Met Gala 2026’s fashion carpetMorning affirmation at 5 am: Start your day with clarity and calmHow to make Oats, Besan, and Chaach Chilla for a light summer breakfastAre you storing fruits all wrong?
