New Delhi: Senior advocate Kapil Sibal was Thursday elected as the president of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA).
The SCBA elections were held Thursday.
A Harvard Law School graduate, Sibal was the additional solicitor general of India during 1989-90. He was designated as senior advocate in 1983.
Between 1995 and 2002, the former minister in the Congress-led UPA government served three times as SCBA president.
In a post on X, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said, “Kapil Sibal has just been elected as president of the Supreme Court Bar Association by a landslide. This is a big win for liberal, secular, democratic, and progressive forces.”
“This is also, in the outgoing PM’s words, a trailer for the changes that will happen very soon nationally. The soon to be former regime’s legal drumbeaters and cheerleaders must be shocked,” he said.
