Advocates Amendment Bill

A Bill which aims at regulating the legal profession by a single Act and seeks to target "touts" was passed by the Lok Sabha on Monday with Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal saying there should be no role of such persons in the country's courts.

Lawyers all over India will abstain from work on March 31 to protest against a proposed bill that bars advocates from going on strike. Bar Council of India (BCI) Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra said the proposed amendments by the Law Commission in the Advocates Act were "draconian, anti-lawyer, unconstitutional, undemocratic and anti-people".

The bill was passed with none of the amendments that consumer advocates and tech firms were pushing for in a last-ditch effort this week.

Lawyers of Delhi's district courts on Tuesday began an indefinite strike against the delay in passage of an amended bill in parliament on enhancement of pecuniary jurisdiction of trial courts.
