The Bar Association of India has moved the Supreme Court seeking an Aadhaar-like nationwide digital registry for advocates to curb fake legal practitioners and verify credentials. CJI Surya Kant termed the proposal a “novel reform” and said all law universities must disclose details of their bona fide graduates.
Justice Vaidyanathan of the Madras High Court warns Bar Council against the rise of “fake lawyers” and urges the legal community to uphold integrity and dignity in the profession. He emphasizes the need for honest and ethical leaders in bar associations and advocates for prioritizing mediation in legal disputes. His plea serves as a call to action for the legal community to uphold the highest ethical standards and combat the menace of fake lawyers.
