Senior Advocate Pradeep Kumar Rai was elected Vice President, and Advocate Ardhendumauli Kumar Prasad has been elected as the Secretary.

The elections for the Executive Committee of the SCBA were finally held today after having been postponed multiple times in the wake of Covid-19 pandemic and disagreements in terms of mode of conducting the elections. Finally, the voting was held online on National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) platform.

However, after the commencement of the election process, the Executive Committee of SCBA passed a resolution stating that the election shall be carried out in a hybrid manner in the third week of February 2021. Consequently, the members of the Election Committee resigned including Dushyant Dave.

The Election Committee comprising of Senior Advocates Jaideep Gupta, Harin P. Raval and Nakul Dewan had written to the Secretary of SCBA expressing their inability to discharge their duties as the Election Committee.

Subsequently, a new Election Committee comprising Senior Advocates Pallav Shishodia, Rana Mukherjee and Siddhartha Dave decided to hold elections in a hybrid manner subject to the advice of the health advisory team.
