"Two or more such courts in succession", means if an advocate is registered in the Bar Council of one State, and then transfers to another State, and continues to practice, then these two stints will be taken as one for the purpose of this Article.
Public Servant as per sec 21 of IPC, is a larger class of people. Judicial Officers are public servants. But not all public servants are Judicial Officers.
