Mumbai Bar Admission

Sachin (Querist) 12 December 2009 This query is : Resolved
Hi,
I have passed my LL.B. degree in May 2008 from Mumbai University and have currently moved to the USA. Do I need to be physically present in Mumbai if I need to apply for the SANAD in Mumbai(i.e. Mah & Goa Bar) or is it possible to send my representative and the required documentation & fees. I need to apply for the California Bar exam and need to submit proof of admittance in India. Its not possible for me to travel back to India at this time. Also, I would be ok if I need to provide any Notarized Authorization (US Notary) to my brother or father to do the requisite documentation. Any advise or information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Regards,
Sachin Sawant

Yes ur presence is necessary to get the SANAD because you will have to take the oath at the time of registration.
You do one thing make a correspondence with the Registrar of high Court Bombay you will get the right procedure.

Many thanks to everyone for their responses. I shall do the needful. Also, if I have to obtain a Certificate of Good Standing from the High Court after obtaining the Sanad what would be the process and how much minimum time should have been elapsed after obtaining the Sanad.
The reason I am asking is that because I will have to travel to India twice, once for the Sanad and again for Good standing certificate. I want to try and make things happen in one visit. Any ideas would be appreciated.
