The framework does not, however, prohibit temporary fly-in, fly-out visits for advice on foreign law, the lawyer's own system of law, or participation in international commercial arbitration, provided Indian law is not practised. BPO entities offering word processing, transcription, proofreading and similar support services are outside the Act unless a specific violation is established. en-us Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 21:38:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=210903 The Advocates Act, 1961 recognises enrolled advocates as the only class entitled to practise Indian law, and that restriction extends to both litigation and non-litigation work; foreign lawyers and foreign law firms therefore cannot practise Indian law in India without complying with the Act and Bar Council of India Rules.
