The Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association (SCAORA) General Body has unanimously doubled its annual membership fee from Rs 500 to Rs 1,000 to meet rising expenses. The body also resolved that matters should be taken up strictly by serial number in the cause list, ending the existing daily sequencing except in exceptional cases. This aims to bring predictability for advocates. SCAORA demanded that the Registry scrutinise and notify defects within 48 hours of filing, with time taken by the Registry excluded from delay calculations. It called for comprehensive defect marking at first scrutiny and no fresh defects later unless re-filed material changes. The body also resolved that the 1.92-acre ITO land must be used exclusively for advocates' chambers, not workstations, and that advocates-on-record be involved in the AOR exam process.
