Foreign degree ll.m. is valid in india?

(Querist) 12 February 2014 This query is : Resolved 
One of my brother-in-law has completed his LL.M degree in U.K. I would like to know that is it valid in India to enroll in the Bar Council of India?
Anirudh (Expert) 12 February 2014
Dear Mr. Hasanbasha,

I don't think that your brother-in-law who has done LL.M. might have asked you to put this query, as being a law graduate he is aware whether he will get enrolment or not. If you are doubting the claims of your brother-in-law and therefore wanting to cross check/verify from here, that is altogether another matter.

Even being a law graduate from any recognized university he can be enrolled.

Advocate Arunagiri has given you the clue to prepare yourself for the test to be conducted by the BCI, as and when held in near furture, to get appropriate recognition.
