A person who is not enrolled as an advocate with a Bar Council of a state is not an advocate.

Such a person has no authority to use the title advocate before his name. If he is using, it is a misrepresentation of fact and a punishable offence.

Prefixing any title has been debarred by the framers of Constitution, except military rank and academic excellence.
Till a person is not enrolled in any Bar Council s/he is not an "advocate", read the provisions of Advocates Act, 1961.
