Invitation to NALSAR Lecture Series on Constitutionalism | All-India Judicial Services | Panel Discussion | Rethinking Recruitment, Federalism, and Access to the Bench

[NALSAR Lecture Series on Constitutionalism]

Dear All,

It is with great honour that we invite you to the panel discussion hosted by NALSAR's flagship- NALSAR Lecture Series on Constitutionalism. 

Topic: The All-India Judicial Services: Rethinking Recruitment, Federalism, and Access to the Bench

Date: 21st September, 2025

Time: 11 A.M. to 1 P.M. IST

Venue: SAARC LAW CENTRE, NALSAR University of Law

This panel will feature three eminent speakers:

1. Justice (Retd.) Gita Mittal, Former Chief Justice of Jammu and Kashmir High Court.
2. Adv Mr Bharat Chugh, Former Judge, Delhi Judicial Services.
3. Ms Chitrakshi Jain, Author: Tareekh Pe Justice, also NALSAR Batch of 2014.

The session will be moderated by Advay Vora, Assistant Editor at Supreme Court Observer.

The idea of an All-India Judicial Service (AIJS) has long generated both excitement and concern - touching on federalism, representation, and the future of the district judiciary. With the Supreme Court’s recent ruling reinstating a practice requirement for judicial recruitment, the AIJS debate has taken on fresh urgency.

To give you a sense of the themes and stakes, we are sharing the concept note (attached). It outlines the core questions that will animate the panel. 

We are also sending 2 pieces to help you situate the discussion in both its constitutional and practical contexts.
