holding lawyers

Please read the rules framed by the High Court under the Advocates act. According to me a reading of it is very important for Junior Advocates because Junior Advocates would be able to face the Court confidentaly.  I have found some of the judges scaring  the junior advocates when they appear and seek adjournment. Perhaps they themselves may not be aware of the said rules. Keeping a copy of the rules in your hand will allow you to face the Court without any fear.

Sir, Thanks a lot sir for your valuable suggesstions, Sir I would like to know, actually I have heard that there is a Bombay high court judgement upon this, is it true ? regards jayesh

thanks a lot,

may god bless u

 How this business of senior and junior lawyer has started? Was it there when Motilal Nehru, Jayakar,, Jinnah etc. practised law? What are the prohibitions and why?

Sir, Legally there is no business of Senior & Junior lawyer. But factually there can be Junior lawyer or Advocate.  This cannot be denied. To a query with regard to a Junior Advocate appearing to seek adjournment or to keep the matter back and who may not even have been briefed in the matter, the query was answered to enable the Juniors in the profession face the Court confidently and bravely.  There are no prohibition at all.

 I am quoting the following from the SCI publication "Practice and Procedure - A handbook of information"

The Chief Justice and the Judges may, with the consent of an advocate, designate him

as Senior Advocate, if in their opinion, by virtue of his ability, standing at the Bar or

special knowledge or experience in law, he deserves such a distinction. A Senior

Advocate cannot file Vakalatnama or act in any Court or Tribunal in India. He cannot

appear, without an Advocate-on-Record, in the Supreme Court, and without a junior in

any other Court or Tribunal in India. He cannot accept any brief or instructions directly

from the client, to appear in any Court or Tribunal in India. He cannot accept instructions

to draw pleadings or affidavits. He cannot advise on evidence or do any drafting work,

though he is entitled to settle any matter in consultation with a junior.

 I suggest the legal fraternity to download and read the Practice and Procedure laid down by the SC. The website is:

It is quite an eye opener.
