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 seeks Bar Council of India’s response to JustDial’s appeal against a Madras High Court ruling on lawyer advertisements. The Court emphasized compliance with Advocates Act and BCI regulations. JustDial argued for its role as a directory service. BCI had issued removal notice to comply with the High Court’s order. Supreme Court awaits BCI’s response.
