A practising advocate should have at least five cases every year against his name and he cannot take up any remunerative employment so long as he retains his name in the roll of the Bar Council of India.

However there has been a suggestion to create a separate section of non-practising advocates also. But there is no final decision to separate both or de-enroll the non-practising advocates as on now.

Why do you prefer to remain "anonymous author" since anonymous author is discouraged for obligation by experts as per rules of this platform.
Since the licencee never practiced law and joins a job, it (licence) had and shall have no effect. However, it would be better to inform concerned Bar Council qua joining service so that the licence can remain suspended.

If the lawyer is disqualified under section 49 (1)(ah) and he haven't surrendered his license/ membership of bar association but works as an employee in a psu or is opting to work then will the employment agreement be valid or justified.?
