![[Lawyers Ads Controversy] Sulekha Moves Supreme Court Against Madras High Court Order](https://i0.wp.com/lawchakra.in/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Image-1-2.png?resize=447%2C367&ssl=1)
The Madras High Court mandated the Bar Council of India (BCI) to establish guidelines against lawyer advertising. In response, Sulekha challenged the directive in the Supreme Court, which has combined it with JustDial’s similar plea. The Court is evaluating compliance with the Advocates Act and BCI regulations amid concerns about online lawyer services.
The Supreme Court today declined to stay the Patna High Court’s ruling that annulled the increase in reservation for Backward Classes, Extremely Backward Classes, and Scheduled Castes and Tribes (SC/STs) in Bihar from 50% to 65% in public employment and educational institutions. The final hearing is scheduled for September, with no interim relief granted.
