(Order of the Court was made by M.M.Sundresh,J.) The sum and substance of the grievance of the petitioner is that no enrollment is made because of his non-completion of the Bar Examination. Unfortunately, the status, which stands as of now is otherwise. The Bar Council of India is rethinking in this regard.
2. In the counter affidavit filed, the Bar Council of India states as follows:-
Furthermore, the Bar Council of India has proposed amendments to the Advocates Act, 1961 to introduce and revamp some of the prevalent practices of the Bar Council of India. The said proposed amendments contain inter alia draft clauses whereby it would be mandatory for a person to be qualified to enrol in the State roll only if he/she passes the All India Bar Examination.
3. Thus the process of examining the said issue is on. In such view of the matter, we do not propose to keep the writ petition pending. Accordingly, the writ petition stands closed. No costs. However, liberty is given to the petitioner to file appropriate petition after concrete discretion is taken by the Bar Council of India followed by the statutory prescription. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is also closed.
