Bar Council of India Certificate and Place of Practice (Verification) Rules, 2015.

Statement of objects and reasons:

The legal profession is an Honorable one and it has critical role to play in protecting and promoting the Civil and Constitutional rights of the people. An independent and fearless Bar is vital and crucial for14 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART III—SEC. 4] sustaining and promoting a true and healthy democracy. The Bar which is subject to manipulation and influence from extraneous powers, howsoever mighty and esteemed they may be, cannot do justice either to the Legal Profession or to the Rule of Law. Bench and Bar are the two wheels of a chariot and one cannot function without the other. Sadly, this profession has fallen under a cloud.

In the Joint Meeting of the representatives of all State Bar Councils and Bar Council of India, concerns were raised by all that trend of Advocates switching over to other professions/services/business without any information to the State Bar Council has reached alarming proportions. This trend is endangering the legal profession as a whole. It has also made a dent in its sanctity and standards. Names of such advocates continue to be included in the “Roll of advocates” being maintained by the State Bar Councils, notwithstanding the fact that they have left the legal profession or have since died. Though under section 19 of the Advocates Act, the State bar Councils are under legal obligation to send a copy of the Roll of advocates prepared by it under section 17 of the Act and subsequent alterations/additions thereto but practically no state bar Council has observed this mandatory provision of the Act up till now.

Under these circumstances it appears that a definite trend is visible that the control of Bar Associations and of other elected bodies under the Advocates Act is slipping out of the hands of the advocates who practice law. It is also being experienced that after certificate of enrolment is issued to an advocate, practically no communicative and continuing contact survives between him and the Council.

Under the existing state of affairs, All India Bar Examination introduced on the directions/observations of the Supreme Court of India to improve the standard of legal profession has also failed to fully achieve its objective. Advocates enrolled with the State Bar Councils obtain “Provisional Certificate of Practice” (valid for 2 years) and thereafter most of them are practicing Law without caring to appear for All India Bar Examination and to pass it.

Various welfare schemes for advocates have been floated in India both under State Legislations as well as under various welfare schemes framed by different State Bar Councils and by Bar Council of India but benefits thereunder are being enjoyed by those also who have left the profession.

There is also an urgent need for laying down some conditions for practicing law in different Courts so as to give due weightage and credence to experience. Before an advocate could practice law in higher Courts, there is need that he is exposed to real court experience in lower Courts/trial Courts. This will help in integrating the whole judicial system from the perspective of the Bar.

Therefore, in order to achieve better and effective administrative and disciplinary control of the local Bar Associations, State Bar Councils and the Bar Council of India over the advocates entered on the Rolls of advocates being maintained by different State Bar Councils under section 22 of the Advocates Act and further in order to weed out advocates who have left practice, the Bar Council of India, in the exercise of powers conferred on it by Section 49(1) (ag), 49 (ah) 49(i) of the Advocates Act, 1961 and by all other enabling and residuary powers vested in it, had brought the rules titled “ Bar Council of India Certificate of Practice and Renewal Rules, 2014” for the purposes of carrying into effect the provisions and objectives of the Act:- But in some of the places, the Advocates raised objection with regard to the word Renewal, though in fact it is not the renewal of enrolment, rather it aimed at periodical verification of the details of an Advocate already enrolled with some State Bar Council. The aim was/is only to verify the place where the Advocate normally practices, the Bar Association of which he is a member (if any), the address/email id, enrolment number/year, the Institutions from which the Advocate has passed his Graduation and LL.B. The purpose is the maintenance of record of all the Advocates of the country; two passport size photographs of Advocate was/is also required to be furnished to the State Bar Council. The other object was/is also to introduce certain electoral reforms in the Bar Council/Bar Association elections, because in recent past, the Bar Council of India and the State Bar Councils have come across the cases of rigging in the polls and the allegations of bogus voting has now become frequent, since the State Bar Councils and/or majority of Bar Associations of the country have no record of the Advocates who died after enrolment or who joined other jobs, business or professions; the Bar Council of India being the regular of Legal profession and Legal education of the country has, therefore, decided to undertake the detailed verification and then to prepare a Voters’ List alongwith recent photographs of the Advocate (Voter). The Council has framed these Rules in the light of the verdict of Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Supreme Court Bar Association. The Bar Council of India has already decided to develop the web-portal for this purpose to have full details of all the Advocates of the country, all the Institutions imparting Legal Education, details of Law students, the Law¹Hkkx IIIµ[k.M 4º Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k 15 Teachers and details of all the Bar Associations. The detailed information and photograph is necessary for that purpose also. Furthermore, since some of the Bar Associations have raised baseless objection with regard to the sum of Rs. 500/- as Practice Fee (as per them it is a heavy amount); the major portion (about Rs.400/-) of this Rs. 400/- was aimed (in 2014 Rules) for providing welfare schemes (like Insurance for Advocates and their family members and improvement of infrastructure and Library of Bar Associations, Pensions etc.) But due to objection, now the Council has resolved to segregate this amount of Rs. 400/- for welfare-schemes from the process fee of verification. Now only Rs.100/- is to be charged from the Advocates as Process fee and rest of Rs. 400/- would be optional not mandatory, depending upon the decision of concerned State Bar Council and the concerned Advocate. Even from this process fee of Rs. 100/-, besides the expenditure incurred for undertaking the work of verification, the State Bar Council, Bar Associations and Bar Council of India are required to spend the rest of the amount for the improvement of infrastructures of Associations only. State Bar Councils shall be required to open and maintain a separate Bank Account for this purpose which would be audited every year. The report of Audit shall be sent to Bar Council of India and the Bar Association soon after the submission of report.

The Bar Council of India has also come to know that a number of fake (farzi) persons (without any Law Degree or enrolment certificate) are indulged in Legal practice and are cheating the Litigants, courts and other stake-holders; and neither the Bar Associations nor the concerned State Bar Councils have any control over such fake persons. Shockingly, it has come to the notice of the Council that at some places, the office- bearers of Bar Associations or some vote-seekers knowingly make such people members and voters of their Associations with a motive to get their votes in the elections of Bar Associations or Bar Councils. Similarly, many persons, after getting enrolled as Advocates in any State Bar Council, get involve in Property-Dealings, contract or switch over to some other business, profession or job and have no more concern with the Legal profession. Such “non-practicing Advocates” are sometimes being used by some of the office- bearers/candidates for elections of Bar Associations or Bar Councils (only for their votes). But in fact, the Council has realized that such practice is degrading the standard of Legal profession, and this mal-practice has to be stopped.

Few of the office-bearers/representatives of some of the Bar Associations had raised unnecessary objections and protests to these reformative steps. Such protests were/are only to serve their vested interests.

Bar Council of India has to maintain the dignity and standard of Legal profession, we shall have to oust fake people from the court-campus and we shall have to identify the “non-practicing Advocates”, (who are involved in other job, business or profession). We are to ensure that such Advocates do not involve in deciding the fate of our Associations and the Bar Councils; And such Advocates are not allowed to get any benefit of welfare schemes or to practice Legal profession so long they are in any other business, job or profession.

It is due to these reasons, the Council has decided to make provisions for identification of such fake persons and non-practicing Advocates. And the Council has also felt it necessary to discourage those Advocates who raise unnecessary protests with an intent to keep and protect the fake and/or non-Practicing Advocates with an object to get their votes. Therefore, the Council has resolved to make suitable provisions in these Rules so that if any Advocate is found to be indulged in making deliberate effort to

(i) Protect fake people practicing legal profession illegally

(ii) to create any hurdle in identification of “non-Practicing Advocates” and

(iii) create any objection in verification of the certificate of practice, credentials, place of Practice and details of Advocates, such Advocates would be debarred from contesting any election of Bar Association or Bar Council for a period of three years from the date of order to this effect.

Under the circumstances and for the abovementioned reasons, the Council has resolved to repeal the “Bar Council of India Certificate of Practice and Renewal Rules 2014” and has made and passed the new “ Bar Council of India Certificate and place of Practice (Verification) Rules 2015”, and has decided to implement it.
