Law practice in india

Virender Malhotra (Querist) 05 July 2014 This query is : Resolved
Before migrating to Canada, I was a practising Advocate,duly registered with Punjab & Haryana Bar Association. Presently I am a Canadian citizen. I am also granted the status of "Overseas Citizen of India" by Government of India, where I have every right in India, except that I can not vote and cannot buy agricultural land in India.

Now on my retirement I have decided to return to India, but would like to continue to be a Canadian citizen.

My query is whether I can practice as an Advocate in India as an Overseas citizen of India by renewing my status of an Advocate with Punjab & Haryana Bar Association as it was before my migrating to Canada?

Unless Canada is reciprocating country, you can not practise as an advocate being the citizen of Canada.
