According to Rule 11 of Part VI, Chapter II of the Bar Council of India Rules, on what terms is an advocate bound to accept a brief in the courts or tribunals in which he proposes to practise?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Rule 11 states that an advocate "is bound to accept any brief" in the forums where he proposes to practise, "at a fee consistent with his standing at the Bar and the nature of the case". It adds that special circumstances may justify refusing a particular brief. Nothing in the rule makes acceptance depend on the merits of the client's case.
