Honourific use for constitutional functionaries is limited to sovereign offices, not civil servants or administrative posts.
Honorific "Hon'ble" is reserved for constitutional functionaries who exercise sovereign functions of the State and is not available to civil servants merely because they hold high office. The distinction turns on whether the office is created by or derives authority from the Constitution and whether the office-holder performs sovereign functions through the legislative, executive, or judicial organs of the State. Ministers, Judges, Speakers, Members of Parliament, Members of State Legislative Assemblies, and similarly placed constitutional authorities are treated as entitled to the prescribed form of address.

GST taxability of Bar Associations depends on the deeming fiction for member transactions, registration thresholds, and limited exemptions.
GST treatment of Bar Associations turns on the statutory expansion of supply and the deeming fiction that treats an association and its members as distinct persons. Bar Associations, professional bodies and similar member-based organisations fall within the definition of "person" under the CGST Act, and subscriptions, seminar fees, event charges and other member collections are ordinarily linked to facilities or benefits provided for consideration and therefore may constitute taxable supplies. The article also notes the restricted scope of the housing-society exemption and the continuing debate over the constitutional validity of the deeming provision. (AI Summary)
