Publisher's description
Advocates Act, 1961 As amended by The Advocate (Amendment) Act, 2023
This 2025 edition of The Advocates Act, 1961 (Act 25 of 1961) sets out the statutory framework that governs enrolment, regulation, and professional conduct of advocates in India. It is thoroughly consolidated with the Advocates (Amendment) Act, 2023 (33 of 2023)—in force from 30-9-2024 via S.O. 4246(E)—and aligned with territorial changes under the Jammu & Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019.
Supplementary texts included
• Advocates’ Welfare Fund Act, 2001 & the Delhi Welfare Fund Rules, 2001
• Advocates (Right to take up Law-Teaching) Rules, 1979
• Admission as Advocates (Exemption from Training & Examination) Rules, 1965
• Admission as Advocates (Training & Examination) Rules, 1968
• Extracts on Bar Councils for North-Eastern Areas (Reorganisation) and J&K Reorganisation
Concise, practice-oriented short comments follow pivotal sections—flagging enrolment criteria, certificate-of-practice renewal, welfare-fund benefits, and the 2023 amendment that abolishes the qualification-certificate exam—while preserving the bare-act integrity required for examinations and official reference.
