The Supreme Court of India proposed that the Bar Council of India mandate attorneys enrolled post-2010 to include their All India Bar Examination status in their vakalatnama. This aims to enhance transparency and regulatory compliance, linking non-compliance to misconduct under the Advocates Act. The court also questioned the enrolment fee structure.
The Supreme Court Today (Dec 17) agreed to examine whether a person can be denied enrolment as an advocate if her graduation was through a correspondence degree course. The issue arose in an appeal challenging an order of the Telangana High Court by which the High Court had rejected the plea of a candidate, one STS Gladies (appellant), seeking direction to the Bar Council of Telangana to enrol her.
