At an election to a State Bar Council of 25 elected members, the quota is 300. At the end of a count, with no further surplus to distribute, M (not on a State roll for 10 years) has 150 votes and N (on a State roll for more than 10 years) has 100 votes. Thirteen candidates of not less than 10 years' standing have already been declared elected. Under Chapter II of Part III of the Bar Council of India Rules, as they stand on 1 October 2026, who is excluded from the poll?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Illustration 3 to rule 4(B), Chapter II of Part III of the Bar Council of India Rules, expressly excludes N when thirteen candidates of the required standing have already been elected. The senior-member minimum for a twenty-five-member Council is then satisfied, allowing the lower polling total to govern rather than displacing M merely for being junior.
