Breaking; Supreme Court stays Bar Council’s Verification Rules [Read the Order]
By: Ashok KM | August 29, 2015
The Supreme Court of India on Wednesday has stayed the new Bar Council directive on Advocate Verification. An Supreme Court bench of Justices Pinaki Chandra Ghose and R.K. Agrawal, during hearing of the Transfer Petition moved by Bar Council of India passed the following order “Issue notice. Dasti service, in addition, is permitted. In the meantime, no further steps be taken in the matters which are pending in the High Courts.”
The High Court of Kerala had on June 11, stayed the operation of the ‘Certificate and Place of Practice (Verification) Rules, 2015’ framed by the Bar Council of India. Under the said Rules, all advocates except senior counsel and Supreme Court advocates-on-record (AOR), have to apply under the Rules within six months of 13 January 2015, before receiving their certificates of practice, which will be obligatory for practice. Additionally, the Rules stipulate that this certificate will have to be renewed every five years. Karnataka High Court had also stayed the operation of the rules “only in so far as the petitioner is concerned“.
Bar Council of India then moved a Transfer Petition in Supreme Court of India. It was called for hearing on 26th August and the Court stayed the Verification rules that day itself.
