https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=394008 The Advocates Act, 1961 was read to permit payment and regulation of enrolment fees on admission to the State roll, with Section 24(1)(f) recognising enrolment fee, Section 28 allowing State Bar Council rules on admission conditions and instalments subject to Bar Council of India approval, and Section 49 conferring wider rule-making power on fees under the Act. Reading these provisions harmoniously with the Advocates' Welfare Fund Act, 2001, the enhanced enrolment fee was treated as within statutory authority and not shown to be unreasonable, unauthorized, or ultra vires. The challenge to the fee increase and supporting rules therefore failed. en-us Tue, 24 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 27 Mar 2020 13:58:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=394008 The Advocates Act, 1961 was read to permit payment and regulation of enrolment fees on admission to the State roll, with Section 24(1)(f) recognising enrolment fee, Section 28 allowing State Bar Council rules on admission conditions and instalments subject to Bar Council of India approval, and Section 49 conferring wider rule-making power on fees under the Act.
