Adv. for Advocate

Guest (Querist) 01 October 2008 This query is : Resolved
Dear learned friends,

I have come across a few instances where some advocates of Guwahati prefix "Adv." to their name, like in the case of doctors and engineers who prefix their name with Dr. and Er. respectively. For example Adv. Ram Kumar Das, Adv. Sultan Ahmad, Ad. Joseph Baruah....

Now do you think this is legally correct/fair??

Every advocate whose name is entered in the state roll shall be entitled to prefix their names with 'Adv.'.

I don't see any irregularity in using Adv. as prefix for Advocate.
In practical advocates are using this.

I'm extremely sorry...But out here in Guwahati lawyers hardly use "Adv." before their names.

Here lawyers on the contrary write "Advocate" in full after their names, for e.g., Anil Kumar, Advocate; Puran Singh, Advocate....

I'd asked this question because as a novice I was in doubt...Thank you all for clearing my doubt!
