NOTIFICATION New Delhi, the 22nd January, 2016 Extract of the minutes of meeting of the General Council of the Bar Council of India which was held on Sunday, 18th October, 2015.

Resolution No. 264 /2015 Item No. 379/2015.—Hon’ble Members Mr. Vijay Bhatt, Mr. Apurba Kumar Sharma, Mr. Dinesh Pathak, Mr. Bhoj Chander Thakur and Mr. Debi Prasad Dhal raised a question that the frequent meetings of the General House incur huge expenses and moreover the requisition meetings by the Members as per the Bar Council of India Rules should be rarest of the rare measure. The Rules Committee has also expressed its view that the rule with regard to a requisition meeting needs thorough change and there should be some criteria and reasons for any emergent meeting to be convened by the Hon’ble Chairman.

Accordingly, the Hon’ble Members have unanimously expressed their willingness to amend the Chapter-I, Part-II, Rule A of the Bar Council of India Rules. The Council accordingly resolved as follows:- The minimum time gap between the two meetings of General House shall be of 60 days. The same shall be the gap between two meetings of Executive Committees. There shall be no such time limit for the meeting of Sub-Committees or other Committees. However, the Chairman of the Council, if he thinks it necessary or emergent, may convene the meeting of General Body or of any other Committee for the reasons to be recorded.

Amendment of the Rule for requisition meetings:- If any member or members want to requisition a meeting of General Body of the House, at least 15 Members (elected) and one ex-officio members will have to give the requisition for such meeting in writing to the Chairman assigning the reasons and urgency for such meeting, and the Chairman shall convene the meeting on such requisition within a period of 30 days of the receipt of such requisition by him. If the Chairman fails to convene the meeting on such requisition, the Vice- Chairman shall convene it within a period of 15 days from the date of such refusal or failure (i.e. total period of 45 days from the date of receipt of requisition by Chairman), And if, even the Vice-Chairman fails or refuses to convene the meeting, then the Senior most member may convene the meeting. The quorum for any requisition meeting shall be atleast 17 in which at least one ex-officio member shall required to be be present, failing which it will not be a valid meeting. While for normal or emergent meetings of the General Body convened by the Chairman, the stands amended accordingly. The quorum will be 10 instead of 7. The quorum for the meetings of Executive Committee shall now be seven (7). The rule aforesaid stands amended accordingly.
