Clause 7 of part i of first schedule to chartered accountants act, 1949

Under Clause 7 of Part I of First Schedule to Chartered Accountants Act, 1949, a CA in practice is deemed to be held guilty of professional misconduct if he advertises his professional attainments or services or uses any designation or expressions other than 'Chartered Accountant' on professional documents, visiting cards, letterheads or sign boards unless it be a degree of a University established by law in India or recognised by Central Government or a title indicating membership of ICAI or of any other institution that has been recognised by Central Government or may be recognised by the Council of ICAI. The professional ethics of CA's further states that Chartered Accountants in practice who are OTHERWISE eligible, MAY PRACTICE AS ADVOCATES SUBJECT TO THE PERMISSION OF BAR COUNCIL. However, they should not use designation 'Chartered Accountant' for matters involving the practice as an advocate. My queries are: -
1. Is it really possible for a person to practice as Chartered Accountant & Advocate at a same time?
2. If the answer to above query is in affirmative, what are the guidelines of Bar Council of India in this regard?
3. Is there any professional limitation stipulated by Bar Council of India for practicing Chartered Accountants who are also practicing as Advocates? For example, an Advocate who is also a practicing Chartered Accountant can appear in the Court of Law for corporate & tax law matters only. Such Advocate cannot practice in criminal law.
4. What are the provisions in the Advocates Act in this regard?

My mother was beaten by Police Inspector simply because she was protesting black marketing of LPG Cylinders nearby our residence. We have enough documentary & photographical evidences in this matter. Sr. Police officers have not filed FIR against the PI. Now police are collecting frivolous non-cognizable complaints against her U/s 186, 504 & 506 of IPC. How to prepare grounds of writ Petition clearly stating the violation of fundamental rights? Please specify the relevant Articles of the Constitution of India.
