The Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud congratulated senior advocate Kapil Sibal on his election as the president of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA).
“Mr. Sibal, heartiest congratulations on our behalf for being elected as the president of the SCBA. We look forward to your cooperation and that of the members of the executive committee,” the CJI expressed while presiding over a ceremonial bench.
Thanking the CJI, Sibal remarked, “It is my honor that after 22 years, I have been given this opportunity to serve the bar. From our side, you will have complete cooperation, and that’s our commitment to the bench. It is through this cooperation that we can move the agenda forward.”
Sibal’s election as the president of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) took place on Thursday. Besides Sibal, senior advocates Adish C Aggarwala, Pradeep Kumar Rai, Priya Hingorani, and advocates Tripurari Ray and Neeraj Srivastava were also vying for the post of SCBA president.
