Q. Consider the following statements regarding the Bar Council of India (BCI):- It is a non-statutory body that regulates legal practice and education in India.
- Advocates enrolled with the Bar Council alone are entitled to practise law in India.
- A litigant can appear in the court only with the permission of the BCI.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer:
Only 2
Notes: The Bar Council of India is a statutory body established under the Advocates Act, 1961, not a non-statutory body. Only advocates enrolled with the Bar Council are entitled to practise law in India. However, a litigant can appear in court with the permission of the court, not the BCI. Therefore, only statement 2 is correct.
