Guess Who is at fault Candidates or the Court?

Sir,

If somebody knowingly (the fact that he is not authorized to appear before clearing the Bar Examination) voluntarily appears before the Court ipso facto the mens rea comes into play which means he/she is guilty of voilating the provisions of the Advocates Act.

The Courts have the power to cross check the veracity of the statement of the Advocate by asking him/her to produce the Licence to practice or may ask to tender a statement to this effect.  But knowingly if the Court permit then the Presiding Officer is not diligent in discharge of duties as such.

Daksh, thank you vry much indeed. One more thing Daksh: If the Bar Association knowingly allow such candidates to ppear in the court and enlisted them in the Bar Association as an advocate, shouldn't the Bar Association also be held liable under the Advoctes Act? I have no probems with such candidates practicing in the court but Just want to clear the legl implications involved in such prctice in violtion of Bar Council of India Directives under the Advcates Act.
