Dear Assumi Sir,

Resolution passed by the Bar Council of India on 30th April, 2008 (yet to be notified in the official gazette) to amend Rule 36 of the Bar Council of India Rules:

 

“RESOLVED that the following amendment of Rule 36 in Section IV, Chapter II, Part VI of the Bar Council of India Rules by incorporating a proviso in terms of resolution passed by the joint consultative conference be and is hereby approved”

 “PROVIDED that this rule will not stand in the way of advocates furnishing website information as prescribed in the Schedule under intimation to and as approved by the Bar Council of India. Any additional other input in the particulars than approved by the Bar Council of India will be deemed to be violation of Rule 36 and such advocates are liable to be proceeded with misconduct under Section 35 of the Advocates Act, 1961.
