Now, lawyers can practise all over country

From Wednesday, lawyers will be able to practise in courts across the country irrespective of their enrolment in any bar council without transferring licence to their desired States.

According to a Law Ministry notification, Section 30 of the Advocates Act will come into force on June 15.

Section 30 says: “Subject to the provisions of this Act, every advocate whose name is entered in the State roll shall be entitled as of right to practise throughout the territories to which this Act extends — in all courts including the Supreme Court.”
