Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Rule 6 bars an advocate from appearing before a court in which a listed relative is a member. Its explanation says that "Court shall mean a Court, Bench or Tribunal" in which the relative is a judge, member or presiding officer. So the bar attaches to her father's Bench, not to the whole High Court, and consent of the other side does not lift it.
