Dear sir
In whether a district bar association can refuse to give membership?
In our part the the local DBA is arbitrary stopped the membership to new advocates and refuse to give membership even they are giving it this year batch to after two years and also giving membership to a few even in this year they have only given 60 forms and provided membership to 40 and out of 2 them are controversial, i filed an rti before registrar of society seeking their registration and constitution but they replied that they have verified the records and found the DBA is not registered with them. this DBA is established during british period.
Whether the DBA has the capacity to refuse membership as it violated my rights to practice?
pls suggest me the remedy?

Dear Vijay,
For practice before a Court, you only need enrolment with the State Bar Council.
District Bar Association is only an Association - it is voluntary to become a member of the DBA. Non-registration with the DBA will not affect your practice before the Court.
Please mention the name of the District Bar Association, for our information.
