The elections were conducted in March this year, following a turbulent pre-poll period mired with allegations that the polls were being tainted by malpractices and muscle power. To counter various apprehensions, amendments to electoral rules and deterrent fines for those found violating the rules were also introduced..Whereas the Madras High Court had also made an attempt to introduce more rules to ensure the clean conduct of the bar council elections, this order was ultimately stayed by the Supreme Court, which took a view that the order was moralistic. This year’s elections also witnessed the Advocate General and two ROs formally withdraw from the election process..The counting process commenced in April after retired Madras High Court judge M Vijayaraghavan took over as the RO, along with Assistant ROs G Ganesan and Emas Siddhrthar.
