Rules are changing for lawyers / Advocates practising in Supreme Court

In few weeks, Supreme Court of India Rules for practice will change.

The change was overdue since many years.

Advocates from all over India come here to argue cases. But they have to engage an Advocate on Record registered in Supreme Court.

His primary duty is to assist court whenever the case is called out.

He has to keep a clerk registered with Supreme Court, and he has to keep an office near Supreme Court.

The new rules propose to make these advocates more answerable to court. The attempt of court is good. 

But so far as litigants are concerned, now they will have to pay more for justice.

The rules are now coming in force from August, 2014
