Justice Prathiba M Singh, Chairperson, IP Division Delhi informing about the vision said, an IP friendly adjudication regime will encourage local businesses and also recognise foreign IP owners.
Guest of Honour Nirmala Sitharaman, Union Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs addressing the gathering said, "India is a State where growth and the focus on development has got to be strengthened from every side and IPR plays a very important role in that.
Sitharaman: The boost that is given through the support of Judiciary has actually encouraged more innovation, more copyrights and more patents in India.
Chief Guest, NV Ramana, Chief Justice of India speaking at the event said that in the field of IP a big background in the development of law should be looked into.
Justice Ramana further said that there is a emergent need to fill up the vacancies and there is also a need to increase the number of Judges, with better service conditions we may be able to attract more. Judicial infrastructure also needs to be improved.
Justice Ramana said, "Judicial infrastructure needs to be improved, unfortunately we are not even meeting the basic minimum standards in this area, it has been my endeavour since assuming the office of CJI, to put in place a mechanism."

Arvind Malhotra vs High Court of Himachal Pradesh

Sr Adv Balbir Singh: My recommendation was made on 23. 9. 2025. Collegium recommendation says two vacancies were there for promotee judges . Two juniors were recommeded. I was interacted with on 19th and recommendation on 23rd without having my reply.

Justice BV Nagarathna: These are matters where on judicial side we cannot say disclose this and disclose that. Merely because you are a senior does not mean you will be recommeded. Once collegium discusses, we cannot intervene. There is secrecy involved...
Justice Nagarathna: There is no rejection of your candidature. We don't know what does your recommendation say. It is about subjective satisfaction of High Court collegium. Can supreme court on judicial side ask them look into this and look into that. If this happens then where are we heading?
Justice Joymalya Bagchi: We would have understood if High Court collegium went against SC order, but their decision has been accepted by the supreme court.

Lady Counsel: Your lordships have directed that they directed that the Advocates who are keen to appear for civil service exam they should have court exposure of at-least 3 yrs, but will not there are many systematic barriers roadblocks. There is absence of fixed stipend for newly addressed Advocates in the courts.

CJI Surya Kant: We must give compliments for the amount of research, the hard work, and in the way you have collected. We really admire and we feel that there are people who are committed to the cause of the judicial system and for the legal fraternity. Commendable job, you’ve done! And all these young girls who are party, to this information. We pay our compliments with each of them.Image
CJI: Very remarkable job they have done and right from South to North to the West. This is the most satisfying experience that we have seen.

Counsel: We have also prepared a short PPT. To show the actual position of the lady’s bar rooms and its PATHETIC, especially within 50kms range of this honourable court. Ghaziabad, the prime city of Uttar Pradesh, Greater Noida, it doesn’t have any Bar room for ladies. It’s just like the feeling is- you go! We are not supposed to be there. We are not to be seen!
Counsel: In Ghaziabad, I’ve heard that the Advocates (ladies) are supposed to be there from 10am-1pm only once you send away your children to school and husband to office, come to the court. And by 1’o clock go back! We don’t have any facilities, we cannot go bak till 4pm. The lady advocates are not SEEN for MAJOR FINAL ARGUMENTS for the cases, for cross examinations in Surajpur Court.

They say- ‘Lady advocates will start doing politics while sitting in ladies bar room, so NO NEED of ladies barroom’: Counsel submits
