ICAI has allowed CA in practice to practice as an Advocate as well. Whether there is any restriction from the Bar Council to disallow CA in practice to simultaneously practice as an Advocate. If yes, under which provision / rule? Kindly clarify.

@ Tanuj and Pratik
I have not come across any section/provision or rule in Advocate Act or BCI rule which prohibit practising CA from enrollment.
I request all member to give specific rule/section which prohibits practising CA from enrollment in BCI ( Please not vague answers please like Advocate act prohibits or can not do professions etc etc ..)
