History: Establishment and shifting

New Delhi Bar Association was established in the year! 1955 at Parliament Street Govt. Offices Complex where the New Delhi Courts used to function now where you have the Commissioner of Cooperative offices। To call it a complex is a misnomer। It is a square dotted with one storey small houses in yellow. Mr Suraj Bhan was it’s first President..

।
New Delhi Courts and for that matter the New Delhi Bar Association was shifted to it’s present location at Tilak Marg in the Year 1978। The credit for shifting the courts to its unique location and in the impressive building that once used to be the palace of Maharaja of Patiala singularly goes to Mr.Justice Parkash Narain, the then Chief Justice of Delhi High Court. New Delhi Courts were shifted after the High Court was shifted to the present complex.

Now the New Delhi Bar Association boasts of five thousand members with stinking and creeking and crumbling infrastructure with all-round degradation including moral and professional values
Many say this is no longer a place for gentlemen but musclemen and goons.
