The Story in Brief
The Allahabad High Court has directed the Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh to issue permanent enrolment numbers to advocates who clear the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) within four weeks of receiving the result card. The court also ordered the DGP to ensure police verification of law graduates is completed within two weeks.
Justice Arun Kumar Singh Deshwal passed these directions after considering delays in obtaining enrolment numbers. The court clarified that advocates with provisional enrolment can practice for two years, but lose the right if they fail AIBE within that period. The Bar Council of UP assured it would publish the list of non-practicing advocates after its elections.
The Indian Opinion
The Allahabad High Court's order brings clarity to the enrolment process, but the real test lies in implementation. While delays in issuing enrolment numbers have frustrated many young lawyers, the court has set firm deadlines. The two-year limit to clear AIBE may seem harsh, but it aims to maintain standards. The crucial question is whether the Bar Council of UP will publish the list of non-practicing advocates promptly after its elections, or will procedural delays undermine this order.
