Read in paper today that law ministry is going to change section 30 of advocates act 1961. Does it now mean that an advocate enrolled in any bar council of any state can practice in another state without getting enrolled in another state or without filing joint vakalath. If this happens it could be a great help for especially women lawyers who would like to practice and have spousr or parent with transferable jobs. Also does it mean now any lawyer from any part of the country can represent their client in supreme Court Of India directly if their client so wishes.

While I agree with the sane advice of Mr. Prabhakar Singh, I understand that the amendment is to do with removing the present restrictions which specifically bars appearance by an Advocate (for e.g. family courts, industrial tribunals etc.)
