The Bar Council of India has said that it will file an application in the Supreme Court seeking modification of the order which allowed fresh law graduates to become judicial officers. It said that the BCI and the State Bar Councils are "strongly in favour" of a 3 year minimum experience at the bar for being considered eligible to sit for judicial service exam.

"Judicial officers not having practical experience at the bar are mostly found to be incapable and inept at handling matters", BCI said in a press release.
