sir , from ur writing i find u are a section officer. if u are in government service you need to inform the karnatake bar for ur suspension of practise during the period of ur government service. but if u are practisign lawyer want to regularly practise in himachal pradesh court , it is practicicall y advisable to apply to bar council of india for ur name transfter from karnatak to himachal. in any event as per the new amendment to advocates act u can freely appear any where withing the country irrespective of ur member ship of bar , for availing the benefits and the privillege of the local bar it is always better for u to change ur memeber ship to himachal at the expense of long time and travel. for if u exactly want to transfer ur name from parent state to himachal please send me ur completle particular s, i will guide u to gain this challenging experience. thanks my no 9486018697
