section 25 of Advocates -1961

An application for admission as an advocate shall be made in the prescribed form to the State Bar Council within whose jurisdiction the applicant proposes to practise.

Though there is no law but ruleS have been made there under in to maintain the dignity of profession.If you have enrolled as an advocate then you have to inform the bar council with undertaking that you stop to cease practise as an advocate

If the council permits you that your profession in any way doesnot affect the dignity of profession then you may go for practise

If you want to practice law then why are you trying for other employments?

you can suspend your practice temprorily by giving a letter to respective bar counsil and once if you want to practice again you can give a letter and start practicing if you suspend the period of suspension will not be taken in to for calculating your experience in the bar this may affect if you go for any Government postings

I want to make comment that

1 Rules are made to bring integrity and nobelity for this profession.The main objective of this rule is that individual should not engae in such kind of jobs/trade that will affect the integrity of this profession

2 Ethics are different from rules.We cannot enforce the ethics but have come naturally anjd it is the faith which maintain the balance between the solidarity of profession

If we see there are many examples which we commonly see such as scams,vioalation of orders in some cases the staturory bodies have fully supported the violators despite of ruling by the Hon'ble courts.I am not stating to this profession but with reference to other professions also

First we needs to know why an individual is interested for other profession.As a part of interest??

Not at all.There may be the circumstances which detering him to opt for the others such as we see in the case of intellectual persons in the law stream are opting for corporate sector.Those who don't have god fathers in any profession will definately opt for short cuts as life of individual doesn't run in centuries

As per philosphy point of vies rules are made for weak persons so that strong person can break them easily when it is required

Please also make a note that I don't want to hurt the sentiments of any one

What ever your inner sense says please may go ahead
