As per the latest circular issued by the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA), Advocates with 50 years standing at Bar would be honoured on Constitution Day.

SCBA Secretary Sh. Rohit Pandey told the TLA Network that 'Constitution Day' is an extremely prestigious occasion for the Legal Fraternity. On 26th November 1949, the Constituent Assembly adopted the Constitution of India and it came into effect from 26th January, 1950, which is the greatest strength of our Democracy. In 2015, Hon'ble Prime Minister of India declared to celebrate November 26 as the Constitution Day. Previously, the day was being celebrated as the Law Day.

He further said that the SCBA has proudly celebrated 'Constitution Day' for several decades. This year also we will be celebrating 'Constitution Day'. On every 'Constitution Day' we honour the members of the Bar who have completed 50 years of practice by 26th November.
