Re: [IAC#RG] Funny Email : Hangout with Paranjoy & Prashant July 19, Sat 10.0 pm IST

1) AAP says that Prashanth Bhushan is a senior LAWYER of Supreme Court.

2) I've downloaded the latest version of Designated Senior ADVOCATES
of SC from SC website (till 2013). I cannot see name of either
Prashanth Bhushan or Shanti Bhushanji in it.

3) I am not an expert, but possibly they are "VERY senior advocates"
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanti_Bhushan]
who can self-designate themselves. Or maybe they are designated
seniors of some High Court who enjoy reciprocal facilities under Bar
Councils Act. Or maybe Advocates Act does not distinguish seniors of
Supreme Court from those of any High Court or seniors on rolls of a
Bar Council.

This needs some good explanation from Aam Aadmi Party "seniors" to
allay your doubts.
