The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) is a representative body of lawyers practicing in the Supreme Court of India. It works to protect the rights and interests of its members and uphold the dignity of the legal profession.
The Chief Justice of India (CJI) is the head of the judiciary of India and the Supreme Court of India. The CJI is appointed by the President of India and holds office until the age of 65.
Judicial accountability is the principle that judges should be held responsible for their actions and decisions, ensuring fairness, impartiality, and adherence to legal and ethical standards in the justice system.
Questions on the Indian judiciary, roles of the Chief Justice of India, and functions of bar associations are frequently asked in competitive exams.
