Section 32 of the act uses the word "appear" while section 29 and 33 of the advocate Act use the expression "Practice" and takes in all normal activities of a legal practitioner. The word practice includes both acting and pleading whereas section 32 uses the word appear and a non advocate, when he seeks permission to appear in the court under section 32 by a non advocate he can not be permited to address the court as the word appear is only one aspect and does not take in the concept of pleading, without which it can not be equated to practicing.
