Empanelment of Amicus Curiae at Supreme Court
The amicus curiae figure originated in Roman law. An amicus curiae (meaning “friend of the court“) is someone who is not a party to a case and is not solicited by a party, but who assists a court by offering information that bears on the case. The decision on whether to admit the information lies at the discretion of the court.
The Supreme Court has invited fresh consent from all the Senior Advocates, Advocates on-Record and Non-Advocates on-Record (having 10 years or more standing at the Bar as on the date of notification), for inclusion of their names in the fresh panels for appointment as Amicus Curiae.
The empanelment shall be for the period commencing from 01.04.2018 to 31.03.2020
The consent is to be furnished in Form-A along with Form-B on or before 24.02.2018.
