Karnataka HC Orders Digital System to Identify Advocates Practicing Without AIBE Clearance
The Karnataka High Court has directed the State Bar Council to develop a digital system to identify advocates practicing without clearing the mandatory All India Bar Examination (AIBE). The court emphasized that practicing without passing the AIBE is an offence against society and ordered the council to maintain integrated records of enrollment and exam results. This follows a petition dismissal involving an advocate accused of practicing illegally for over a decade, prompting the council to track and take action against non-compliant advocates.
