Advocate Tanvi Shah joins a private bank as a full-time salaried legal manager. Under Rule 49 of Part VI, Chapter II of the Bar Council of India Rules, what must she do?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Rule 49 says an advocate shall not be a full-time salaried employee of any person, firm or concern while practising. On taking up such employment she must intimate the fact to her Bar Council and "shall thereupon cease to practise as an advocate so long as he continues in such employment". Appearing only for the employer is not an exception under the rule as it now stands.
