Dear Monika,
Yes, Lawyer/Advocate can be head of an NGO/Private own legal institions.There is no bar by any law.

Heading an NGO doesnt mean that the person is in employment and it is a non profit activity for the benefit of society, which isnt barred by the Advocates Act 1961. so an Advocate can very well be a head of an NGO.
