Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Executive Summary: This document details amendments and clarifications to existing rules by the Bar Council of India. It addresses procedures for including senior advocates and Advocates on Record (AORs) in the electoral roll of the State Bar Council, modifications to verification process fees, and verification of certificates and place of practice for advocates engaged in chamber practices or law firms. The changes were decided on June 6, 2015. Key Points / Main Content: Inclusion in State Bar Council Electoral Roll: * Rule 5a of Chapter I is repealed and replaced. * Senior Advocates (designated under Section 16 of the Advocates Act) who are Advocates on Record of the Supreme Court of India need to fill Form E (Senior Advocates) and Form Fnew (Advocates on Record). * Applicants must submit the completed forms along with two passport-size photographs to their respective Bar Associations or State Bar Council. * Senior Advocates must deposit Rs. 500. * AORs must deposit a fee as determined by their respective State Bar Councils. * State Bar Councils must inform the Supreme Court Bar Association and the AOR Association of Supreme Court about the fixed fee for verification of Certificate of Practice. Verification Process Fee: * Rule 8.4v of Chapter IV is substituted. * State Bar Councils can change the verification process fee based on their needs. * Any such change requires approval from the Bar Council of India. Verification for Advocates in Chamber Practices/Law Firms: * Chapter IV, Rule 14 is clarified. * Advocates in chamber practices or those engaged with law firms who can't file vakalatnamas can apply for verification of certificates and place of practice. * Applicants must file an affidavit stating they are engaged in legal practice and provide proof. * Advocates working in a registered law firm must submit a certificate from the law firm with their application. Impact Analysis: State Bar Councils: * Impact: Need to implement the revised procedures for including advocates in the electoral roll, determine and collect fees from AORs, inform the Supreme Court Bar Association and the AOR Association of Supreme Court about the fee for verification of Certificate of Practice, and potentially modify the verification process fee subject to approval from the Bar Council of India. * Action Required: Update procedures, set AOR fees, communicate fee information, and seek approval for any changes to the verification process fee. Senior Advocates and Advocates on Record of the Supreme Court: * Impact: New forms and procedures for inclusion in the State Bar Council electoral roll and associated fees. * Action Required: Fill out the appropriate forms (Form E or Form Fnew), submit passport photos, and pay the required fee to the relevant Bar Association or State Bar Council. Advocates in Chamber Practices or Law Firms: * Impact: Clarification on the process for certificate and place of practice verification. * Action Required: File an affidavit confirming legal practice and provide supporting documentation, such as a certificate from the law firm, if applicable. Supreme Court Bar Association and AOR Association of Supreme Court: * Impact: Will be informed of the fees determined by the State Bar Councils for verification of Certificate of Practice. * Action Required: No action specified beyond receiving information from the State Bar Councils.
