As per your query it is understood that you need information regarding whether an advocate can file writ in High Court after enrolling with BCI.
Advocates by any SBC (State Bar Council) are eligible to take the AIBE that is conducted by the BCI. Passing the AIBE grant state-enrolled advocates with a Certificate of Practice (COP) that facilitates them in practising law as an advocate in any lower court and High Court within the Indian territory.
Yes, the advocate can file the writs and appeals in the High Court after getting enrolled with the BCI.
The writ petition can be filed in the High Court who has the jurisdiction to entertain that case. For e.g.., if the incident or the crime has happened in Maharashtra then the writ should be filed in the High Court of Bombay and not in any other High Court. Also, an advocate can practice in any court of the state in which he is enrolled with the BCI.
Hope it helps!
