Advocates Act, 1961
Advocates Act, 1961 As amended by The Advocate (Amendment) Act, 2023
This 2025 edition of The Advocates Act, 1961 (Act 25 of 1961) sets out the statutory framework that governs enrolment, regulation, and professional conduct of advocates in India. It is thoroughly consolidated with the Advocates (Amendment) Act, 2023 (33 of 2023)—in force from 30-9-2024 via S.O. 4246(E)—and aligned with territorial changes under the Jammu & Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019.
Supplementary texts included
• Advocates’ Welfare Fund Act, 2001 & the Delhi Welfare Fund Rules, 2001
• Advocates (Right to take up Law-Teaching) Rules, 1979
• Admission as Advocates (Exemption from Training & Examination) Rules, 1965
• Admission as Advocates (Training & Examination) Rules, 1968
• Extracts on Bar Councils for North-Eastern Areas (Reorganisation) and J&K Reorganisation
Concise, practice-oriented short comments follow pivotal sections—flagging enrolment criteria, certificate-of-practice renewal, welfare-fund benefits, and the 2023 amendment that abolishes the qualification-certificate exam—while preserving the bare-act integrity required for examinations and official reference.
Core statutory coverage
• Bar Council of India & State Bar Councils—constitution, powers, and rule-making authority
• Enrolment of advocates—qualifications, foreign degree recognition, and online filing norms
• Certificate of practice, renewal & disciplinary jurisdiction—grievance redress and misconduct inquiries
• Right to practise before courts & tribunals, law-teaching permission, and appearance restrictions
• Welfare-fund schemes, stamp-duty collection, and grant disbursement safeguards
• Appellate & review mechanisms—Bar Council tribunals, High Court oversight, and Supreme Court appeal
This edition is particularly suited for
• AIBE candidates and law students studying professional-ethics and advocacy regulation
• Junior and senior advocates, Bar-Council officials, and law-firm HR teams handling enrolment and compliance
• Judicial-service & civil-service aspirants needing a precise statutory text with quick-reference notes
• Academicians, policy researchers, and bar-association leaders analysing legal-profession reforms and welfare models
Presented without extensive commentary yet enriched with targeted explanatory notes, this Bare Act delivers clarity, authenticity, and immediate practical insight—indispensable for statutory compliance, legal practice, and academic study.
