Advocate Kavita Rao's father is a judge of a High Court that sits in several Benches. Her father sits in Court No. 4. Applying Rule 6 of the Bar Council of India's Standards of Professional Conduct and its explanation, which statement is correct?
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.
