The qualifications of High Court judges are as follows:1. 2. Must be a citizen of India. 3. Must have held a judicial office in India for at least 10 years. OR 4. Should have been an advocate in any of the High Court for at least 10 years.
Shekhar Bobby Saraf (NLSIU 1996 batch) was the first NLU grad to be elevated to a High Court (as far as I know). That was in 2017, when he was in his mid-40s (assuming he was 22 when he graduated) - about the average age when lawyers get the tap on the shoulder for elevation to a HC. The first 2 batches of NALSAR ('03 and '04) and the first batch from NUJS ('04) are hitting that age band about now. Give it some time friend, sabka number aayega.
Also, a lot of other factors are considered while nominating a lawyer for elevation to a HC, not just 20 years of practice - IYKYK.
Thank god for that too.. I don't think they are capable of getting over that they are NALSAR or NUJS, even after 20 years! Let's not add one more reason for bias in our judiciary.. city / chamber / political affiliations already being some of them
