NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court will on Tuesday hear a plea challenging registration of an FIR against the apex court-appointed ‘High-Powered Election Supervisory Committee’ set up to oversee state bar council elections.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi was on Monday told by senior advocate Manan Kumar Mishra, who also heads the Bar Council of India, that a lawyer has lodged an FIR against the panel.

Mishra said, “This is very urgent. An FIR has been lodged against the high powered committee overseeing the bar council elections by a lawyer. This is serious. It’s just because his appeal was not considered. This is with regard to Maharashtra and Goa state bar council elections.”
