Urgent enquiry regarding enrollment

(Querist) 07 January 2020 This query is : Resolved 
Sir i am from west bengal .I have qualified llb from magadh university .if i take the enrollment from bihar state can i practice in any court in west bengal state without transferring the enrollment? Actually due to some university problem i didnot get my college registration card which is mandatory to submit for enrollment in west bengal.

You can primarily practice in any court in the state where you enroll yourself as an advocate with the state's Bar Council. But you have also the extended right to practice anywhere else in India by using this state registration by following some procedural requirements.

If you want to practice in any other Indian court outside your statewhere you enrolled as an advocate, you will have to do it along with someone who is known to that court from the state registry.

This restriction is imposed just because yours is a state registration despite your area of practice is countrywide.

Practicing in west bengal without registration there is not permissible.

As already advised, you can definitely practice in West Bengal but only having the signature of local lawyer on the vakalatnama.

No problem in practicing in any Court, Tribunal, Commission and/or authority in India except regular practice at parent Bar Council i.e., Bihar in your case.

Rajkumar Makkad is very much capable of misguiding the Innocent Querist which is his regular sickly habit

Refer Section 30 of the Advocates Act 1961
Guest (Expert) 09 January 2020
An Learned Advocate could practice any where in India apart from the State where he had done Bar Council Enrollment

I am impressed by the words of my expert brother NJS Rajkumar alias narasimha.
Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 09 January 2020
My best wishes are with my expert brotehr NJS. He should keep on.
Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 09 January 2020
It is correct that my view was based upon pre-amendment in section 30 of Advocates Act, 1961 but the words which my brother NJS used are definitely praiseworthy. Amendment was brought in the Act during the Law Ministership of Mr. Veerappa Moily.

An article titled “Right of Advocates to Practice” is there in the “All India Reporter” (AIR), December 2019 issue, in its Journal Part, from pages 170 to 178. It deals with many aspects relating to the advocate’s right to practice in different types of court, including the notification of the Section 30 of the Advocates Act on 15th June 2011.
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 15 January 2020
Yes you can practice in the entire Bihar state as per your desire besides, you can practice at Wet Bengal too.
