About the Council
The Bar Council of India is a statutory body created by Parliament to regulate and
represent the Indian bar. We perform the regulatory function by prescribing standards
of professional conduct and etiquette and by exercising disciplinary jurisdiction over
the bar. We also sets standards for legal education and grants recognition to
Universities whose degree in law will serve as qualification for enrolment as an
advocate.
In addition, we perform certain representative functions by protecting the rights,
privileges and interests of advocates and through the creation of funds for providing
financial assistance to organise welfare schemes for them.
The Bar Council of India was established by Parliament under the Advocates Act,
1961. The following statutory functions under Section 7 cover the Bar Council’s

of 34

disciplinary committees of each State Bar Council.
3. To safeguard the rights, privileges and interests of advocates.
4. To promote and support law reform.
5. To deal with and dispose of any matter which may be referred to it by a State Bar
Council.
6. To promote legal education and to lay down standards of legal education. This is
done in consultation with the Universities in India imparting legal education and
the State Bar Councils.
7. To recognize Universities whose degree in law shall be a qualification for
enrolment as an advocate. The Bar Council of India visits and inspect Universitie
or directs the State Bar Councils to visit and inspect Universities for this purpose.
8. To conduct seminars and talks on legal topics by eminent jurists and publish
journals and papers of legal interest.
9. To organize legal aid to the poor.

outside India for the purpose of admission as an advocate in India.

other advocates,
2. Giving legal aid, and
3. Establishing law libraries.
The Bar Council of India can also receive grants, donations, and gifts for any of these

HISTORY
1950
After the Constitution of India came into force on January 26, 1950, the Inter-
University Board at its annual meeting held in Madras, passed a resolution stressing
the need for an all-India bar and emphasising the desirability of having uniformly
high standards for law examinations in different Universities of the country in view of
the fact that a Supreme Court of India had been established.
In May 1950, the Madras Provincial Lawyers Conference held under the presidency
of Shri S. Varadachariar resolved that the Government of India should appoint a
committee for the purpose of evolving a scheme for an all-India Bar and amending the
Indian Bar Councils Act to bring it in conformity with the new Constitution.
At its meeting held on October 1, 1950, the Bar Council of Madras adopted that
resolution.

of 34
1951
Shri Syed Mohammed Ahmad Kazmi, a Member of Parliament, introduced on April
12, 1951, a comprehensive bill to amend the India Bar Councils Act.
The Government of India took the view that in the changed circumstances of
independence, a comprehensive Bill sponsored by the Government was necessary. In
August 1951, the then Minister of Law announced on the floor of the House that the
Government of India was considering a proposal to set up a Committee of Inquiry to
go into the problem in detail. The Committee was constituted and asked to examine
and report on:
1. The desirability and feasibility of a completely unified Bar for the whole of India,
2. The continuance or abolition of the dual system of counsel and solicitor (or agent)
which obtains in the Supreme court and in the Bombay and Calcutta High Courts,
3. The continuance or abolition of different classes of legal practitioners, such as
advocates of the Supreme Court, advocates of the various High Courts, district court
pleaders, mukhtars (entitled to practice in criminal courts only), revenue agents, and
income-tax practitioners,
4. The desirability and feasibility of establishing a single Bar Council for (1) the
whole of India and (2) for each State,
5. The establishment of a separate Bar Council for the Supreme Court,
6. The consolidation and revision of the various enactments (Central as well as
State) relating to legal practitioners, and
7. All other connected matters.
This All India Bar Committee was headed by the Hon’ble Shri S. R. Das, Judge,
Supreme Court of India. The Committee consisted of the following members:
1. Shri M. C. Setalvad, Attorney General of India,
2. Dr. Bakshi Tek Chand, retired High Court Judge,
3. Shri V. K. T. Chari, Advocate-General of Madras,
4. Shri V. Rajaram Aiyar, Advocate-General of Hyderabad,
5. Shri Syed A, Kazmi, M.P., Advocate, Allahabad,
6. Shri C. C. Shah, M.P., Solicitor, Bombay, and
7. Shri D. M. Bhandari, M.P., Advocate, Rajasthan High Court.

of 34
1953
The All India Bar Committee submitted its detailed report on March 30, 1953. The
report contained the proposals for constituting a Bar Council for each state and an All-
India Bar Council at the national level as the apex body for regulating the legal
profession as well as to supervise the standard of legal education in India.
Meanwhile, the Law Commission of India had been assigned the job of preparing a
report on the reforms of judicial administration.
1961
To implement the recommendations of the All-India Bar Committee and taking into
account the Law Commission’s recommendations relating to the legal profession, a
comprehensive Advocates Bill was introduced in the Parliament which resulted in the
the Advocates Act, 1961.

outside India for the purpose of admission as an advocate in India.
11. To manage and invest the funds of the Bar Council.
12. To provide for the election of its members who shall run the Bar Councils.
The Bar Council of India can also constitute funds for the following purposes:
1. Giving financial assistance to organize welfare schemes for poor, disabled or other
advocates,
2. Giving legal aid, and
3. Establishing law libraries.
The Bar Council of India can also receive grants, donations, and gifts for any of these
purposes.
With respect to the point 6, (stated above) the Supreme Court has made it clear that
the question of importing legal education is entrusted to the Universities in India and
not to the Bar Council of India. All that the Bar Council can do is to suggest ways and
means to promote suck legal education to be imparted by the Universities and for that
purpose it may lay down the standards of education. Sections 7 do not entitle the Bar
Council itself to frame rules laying down pre-enrolment as Advocate.
In RaveendranathNaik v. Bar Council of India, the resolution passed by the Bar
Council of India directing advocates not to participate in any programme organized by
the Legal Services Authorities in any LokAdalat or any legal aid programme has been
held illegal and void.
In Ex-Captain Harish Uppal v. Union of India, the court held that section 7 provides
in respect of the functions of the Bar Council of India, but none of its functions
mentioned in section 7 authorizes it to paralyze the working of the Courts. On the
contrary it is enjoined with a duty to lay down standards of professional conduct and
etiquette for advocates. No Bar Council can ever consider giving a call of strike or a
call of boycott. In case any association calls for a strike or boycott the concerned State
Bar Council of India must immediately take disciplinary action against the advocates
who gives a call for a strike. It is the duty of every advocate to ignore a call of strike
or boycott.

of 34
Enrollment of advocates
Eligible persons having a recognized law degree are admitted as advocates on the
rolls of the state bar Councils. The Advocates Act, 1961 empowers state bar councils
to frame their own rules regarding enrollment of advocates. The Council’s enrollment
committee may scrutinize a candidate’s application. Those admitted as advocates by
any state bar council are eligible to take the All India Bar Examination which is
conducted by the Bar Council of India. Passing the All India Bar Examination awards
the state-enrolled advocate with a 'Certificate of Enrolment' which enables the state-
enrolled advocate to practice law as an advocate in any High Court and lower court
within the territory of India. However to practice Law before the Supreme Court of
India, Advocates must first appear for and qualify in the Supreme Court Advocate on
Record Examination conducted by the Supreme Court.

Conclusion
The Bar Council of India has a lot of functions vested within itself, whereby
exercising those functions it can restructure and reframe the entire legal arena in the
country. In fact, it can be more predominantly envisaged that in modern times it has
hardly contributed constructively in the improvement of law in India. There are
certain loopholes in the legal arena in India today which the Bar Council must look
into, in order to protect the law standard from degradation and to maintain the same
standards.
