'Social Justice is an essential characteristic of a matured democracy. Deserving candidates from all sections of the society, irrespective of caste, creed and religion, must be given a fair and adequate chance to serve on the bench. It is important to ensure that all eligible advocates from under-represented communities must be considered for the elevation as the judges of high court,' said the Federation.
'The chief justice of India and the union govt have lent their ears to the request of the members of the Tamil Nadu Bar. We all are extremely grateful. We pledge our unflinching support to the incoming chief justice of the Madras high court for all his constructive efforts,' it said.
