The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) has warned Supreme Court interns that if they use the court’s main canteen between 12:30pm and 2:30pm, they may face “the embarrassment of being asked to leave”, as those hours at the canteen are reserved for the exclusive use of SCBA members.
In a notice published on the SC website today, SCBA secretary Aishwarya Bhati stated:
“It has been observed that Interns are occupying the main Canteen especially during lunch hours leading to server inconvenience [sic] being caused to the Members and even Senior Members.
Members are requested to kindly instruct Counsel/persons interning with them not to occupy the canteen especially during lunch hours, as the main Plaza Canteen and cafeteria is for the exclusive use of Members.
We have specifically directed the canteen contractor not to serve any non-lawyers between 12:30pm and 2:30pm.
Interns are also requested to scrupulously comply with this notice to save themselves of the embarrassment of being asked to leave.”

Moreover,more than interns, it is the large number of law students, who thong the canteens and lobbies of the Supreme Court. The colleges, which are making money in the name of taking the students to Supreme Courts, be discouraged from duping the students and guardians. Mere visit o the Supreme Court will not help students from good lawyers or judges. It is only after they join the profession in all seriousness will help them in excelling the profession. Therefore, the original culprits are the law colleges, who are responsible for the avoidable crowding of the SC premises.
We do love hierarchy in this country don't we, in whatever context we can impose it. The SCBA should instead encourage interns to use such facilities to get a better idea of the profession.
