The Order of the Court was delivered
ORDER
11. l.A.No.6 has been filed on behalf of the Supreme Court c Bar Association and Supreme Court Advocate-on-Record Association, through its Secretary, Mrs. B.Sunita Rao, advocate, for clarification and modification of the judgment/ order dated 20th July, 2012, wherein, while considering the application filed by the SCBA(l.A. No.5 of 2011), certain 0 suggestions made by the Implementation Committee had been accepted.
22. Appearing in support of the said application, copies of which have been served on all the interested parties, including the members of the Implementation Committee, represented by Mr. P.P. Rao and Mr. Ranjit Kumar, learned senior advocates, Mr. Sushi! Kumar Jain, learned advocate submitted that one omission appears to have been made in paragraph 14 of the judgment, wherein while considering the principle of ONE BAR ONE VOTE, we had indicated that persons who had contested elections to the Executive Committee of any Court annexed Bar Association, other than the SCBA, during any of the years from 2007 to 2012, could not be allowed to vote to elect the Office Bearers of the SCBA on the aforesaid principle, or to attend the General Body meetings of the SCBA. It was further mentioned that the same would also include a person who had cast his vote in any election to the Executive Committee of any Court annexed Bar Association, other than the SCBA, for the above-mentioned years. It has been pointed out by Mr. Jain that through inadvertence, the Supreme Court H Advocate-on-Record Association had not been excluded,
SUPREME COURT BAR ASSOCIATION & ORS. v. 289 B.D. KAUSHIK although, it formed an integral part of the SCBA. A
33. The suggestion is well taken and accepted by all the interested parties represented by learned counsel, and, accordingly, we modify paragraph 14 of the said judgment dated 20th July, 2012, by including the words "AND THE 8 SCAORA" after the words "OTHER THAN THE SCBA" appearing at lines 3 and 4 of the paragraph and also after the same words appearing in line 11 of the said paragraph. Let the said paragraph be modified and read accordingly.
44. As far as the other prayer made on behalf of the C applicant is concerned, with regard to the number of filings in a year, as indicated in paragraph 9 of the judgment, we are convinced that since all advocates and members of the SCBA will be covered by the number of entries into the Supreme Court High Security Zone by the Proximity Card, the same o does not require any modification at this stage.
55. l.A.6 filed in the disposed of appeal(s) is allowed to the aforesaid extent.
R.P. I.A. Partly allowed. E
