The president’s post will see a direct contest between Abhay Kumar Chaturvedi and Nilesh Kumar. Both candidates are reaching out to council members to garner support ahead of the election. The BCI member’s post is also drawing interest, particularly over the candidature of Sanjay Kumar Vidrohi.
His election could provide Ranchi Civil Court representation in the national legal body, allowing issues concerning infrastructure, security and working facilities for advocates to be raised at the national level. Manoj Kumar (No. 2) and Prashant Kumar Singh are the other candidates contesting for the post.
According to Chief Returning Officer Justice Ambuj Nath, polling will begin at 11.15 am on November 4. A total of 26 voters, comprising 25 Bar Council members and the Advocate General of Jharkhand, will exercise their franchise.
