The Kerala High Court ruled that a registered homeopathy practitioner cannot enrol as an advocate unless her medical registration is cancelled, with Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas upholding the Bar Council of Kerala decision refusing dual professional registration.
On Monday(29th July), The Supreme Court, led by Justices Abhay S. Oka and Augustine George Masih, raised concerns about a practicing advocate also working as a journalist, which breaches Bar Council rules. This inquiry arose during the hearing of an appeal against an Allahabad High Court decision related to defamation proceedings against former parliamentarian Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
