“The Bar Council of India (BCI) on Thursday told the Supreme Court that “serious action” would be taken against the errant lawyers who brazenly defied the court’s order for calm and indulged in violence in the Patiala House courts complex.”
“The Bar Council of India (BCI) is a statutory body created by Parliament to regulate and represent the Indian bar (It was established under the Advocates Act, 1961). We perform the regulatory function by prescribing standards of professional conduct and etiquette and by exercising disciplinary jurisdiction over the bar. We also sets standards for legal education and grants recognition to Universities whose degree in law will serve as qualification for enrolment as an advocate.”
“In addition, we perform certain representative functions by protecting the rights, privileges and interests of advocates and through the creation of funds for providing financial assistance to organise welfare schemes for them.”
