Justice Ravi Chirania observed in the August 25 order that “no person can be permitted to practise as an Advocate or represent himself as an advocate unless until he is duly enrolled with the respective Bar Council of State in accordance with the provisions of the Advocates Act, 1961,”.
The high court further noted that “upon noticing the observations made by this court, the learned counsel for the petitioner () made a prayer seeking withdrawal of the present petition. The said conduct further affirms the allegations made in the impugned FIR”.
