Today Uttarakhand High Court issued notices to the Bar Council of India and its Uttarakhand unit on a petition seeking rollback of a hike in the fee charged for filing a complaint against an advocate.
Uttarakhand’s Bar Council raised the fee for a complaint against an advocate to Rs 5,500.
Notably, depositing the amount to Bar Council of India is a prerequisite for any disciplinary enquiry to be initiated against a lawyer.
Notices were issued by Chief Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Rakesh Thapliyal of High Court on a petition challenging the legality of the manifold hike on the grounds that it was prohibitory in nature and against public interest.
