Manan Kumar Mishra only pro tem BCI chairman till fresh election: SC
The Supreme Court announced that Bar Council of India chairman Manan Kumar Mishra is merely a "pro tem Chairman" until a newly formed BCI votes in its own officers. The court emphasized that major policy decisions must be made in consultation with the Attorney General and Solicitor General, who are permanent BCI ex-officio members.
Chief Justice Surya Kant, joined by Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana, made clear that Mishra can manage day-to-day BCI operations but is not a democratically elected officer once the state bar councils finalize the replacement of the leadership. The court instructed the newly constituted state bar councils to elect their representatives to the BCI within three weeks of their composition being announced. Mishra's tenure will conclude with the upcoming elections.
