Can Consumer Forum Member (A Lawyer) Practice in Court

Definitely not.

a lawyer may become member but he will have to quit practice first..........both consumer forum membership and legal practice are now allowed to be done together.

not permited.

Agreed with the views of learned members.

allowed

AGREED WITH THE VIEW OF LEARNED KIRAN KUMAR

A notary is neither paid a monthly salary nor any fees by the Government. The fees that is paid to him is not by the Government , but by the  individual client whom he serves. He renderes no service to Government  in the discharge of its  sovereign functions or in its carrying on the civil administration ofr the State. He is not bound by the Government Servants Conduct Rules and therefore, it can not be said that he was ineligible to hold full-time office of the president of District Consumer Disputed Redressal Forum.-A.I.R.1997 Ori.1(D.B.)

A full time member renders his services to Government.and the salary or  honorarium and other allowances payble to him by the  State Government.

In my opinion he may not be allow to practice as a Lawyer.

Kiran Sir is right

A full time member renders his services to Government.and the salary or  honorarium and other allowances payble to him by the  State Government.

In my opinion he may not be allow to practice as a Lawyer.

A full time member can not practice and a part time member can practice as lawyer in spare time when he is not discharginfg his duty in the court

A full time member can not practice and even a part time member can not practice because advocates to be the only recognised class of persons entitled to practice Law.

I do agree with the view of learned friend Mr. Pankaj Rai.

Definitely such a sitting member cannot be permitted to practice, for the simple reason that he may misuse his authority and thereby attempt to influence the Court before which he is practicing. Irrespective, if he is receving any salary or honaraium as said, yet he is discharging functions of a Quasi-Judicial Authority & hence he is prohibited from private practice.

yes as per advocates act practice cannot be allowed.

there has been latest amendment in advocates act kindly note the same.

if a person been part of judiciary system he cannot practise in equivalent court in which he was a memeber of judiciary system, after retirement.
