Dheeraj Mor vs Honble High Court Of Delhi on 19 February, 2020
It was observed as follows: (Sudhakar case, Lab IC p.
715, para 16)
31
“16. … the phrase ‘has been an advocate or a pleader’ must
be interpreted as a person who has been immediately prior
to his appointment a member of the Bar, that is to say
either an advocate or a pleader. In fact, in the above
judgment, the Supreme Court has repeatedly referred to the
second group of persons eligible for appointment under
Article 233(2) as ‘members of the Bar’. Article 233(2)
therefore, when it refers to a person who has been for not
less than seven years an advocate or pleader refers to a
member of the Bar who is of not less than seven years’
standing.”
