In Brief
I.C. Kumar, an advocate, filed a Special Leave Petition challenging a High Court decision. The Supreme Court, after hearing him in person, found the petition lacked merit and dismissed it. However, the Court recognized his concern regarding the use of the word "junior" in Rule 2 of Order 4 of the Supreme Court Rules, 2013. The Court allowed him the opportunity to submit an administrative representation to the Supreme Court Registry if he wished to pursue his grievance through that alternative channel.
