The Kerala HC held that a religious vocation is not disqualifying unless it is pursued in a remunerative or profit-making sense. On the facts, the priests and nuns were living only on maintenance allowance and were not shown to hold an office of profit or earn income from such vocation, so the enrolment bar did not apply and their enrolment as advocates was upheld. en-us Tue, 21 Mar 2006 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 10 Aug 2021 14:20:23 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=296890 Rule 2(h) of the Bar Council of Kerala Rules, 1979 was construed as barring enrolment only where an applicant is actually engaged in full-time or part-time employment, service, trade, business, or a gainful profession.
