The petitions against the implementation of the All India Bar Exam (AIBE) will have to wait another month for it to be heard by the Supreme Court and the Punjab & Haryana High Court..The petitions against the implementation of the All India Bar Exam (AIBE) will have to wait another month for it to be heard by the Supreme Court and the Punjab & Haryana High Court..The matter which was listed before the Chief Justice was later transferred to be heard before the Registrar who ruled that since notices were not served to the respondents, the matter had to be listed after these notices were served. One of the petitioners against the AIBE, Fatehpal Singh spoke to Bar & Bench and said “I was the only one present before the Registrar. Although I am yet to be served notice, I was present before the apex court to argue my case”..9 petitions have been filed in various High Courts and the Chairman of Bar Council of India (BCI) had wanted to transfer these petitions to the Supreme Court. The matter was listed before Chief Justice S.H. Kapadia, Justices K.S. Radhakrishnan and Swatanter Kumar on August 2, 2010 who had ordered notices to be served through all forms, including email and telephone..The Supreme Court has issued notices to all the 9 respondents, to file any objections for the transfer of these petitions before the Supreme Court to Delhi High Court. The matter has now been listed on October 20, 2010. The AIBE has been scheduled on December 5, 2010..Separately, the petition filed against the AIBE by NALSAR graduate Fatehpal Singh was also listed before the Punjab & Haryana High Court. This matter has been listed well before the next Supreme Court hearing, on October 7, 2010..With less than 3 months to go for the first AIBE, confusion prevails over the notices to be served and the jurisdiction of the Courts. In this era of technology, broadband network, emails and phone calls costing less that Re.1, is there no faster and more accurate mode of serving notices to these 9 respondents on an important reform such as the AIBE?
