The Supreme Court administration under Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud has done away with the requirement of law degree for accreditation as a legal correspondent at the top court..Accreditation gives legal reporters access to various Supreme Court facilities."Just yesterday, I signed a file for expanding the footprint of the accredited correspondence for the Supreme Court. I don't know for what reason there was a condition you must have passed law LLB. We have relaxed that," the CJI said on Thursday. CJI Chandrachud was speaking to journalists at a pre-Diwali get together held in the Supreme Court premises..The CJI further added that accredited journalists will henceforth have access to Supreme Court parking area to park their vehicles."Our accredited correspondents will have access to parking lot for parking their vehicle in the Supreme Court here on," he said. In 2018, the Supreme Court had amended its norms for accreditation of legal correspondents.The amended norms had conferred on the Chief Justice of India, to exercise his discretion, in appropriate cases, to waive the condition for possessing law degree for accreditation as reporter at the Supreme Court.The condition has now been done away altogether.
