How does Rule 46 of Part VI, Chapter II of the Bar Council of India Rules describe free legal assistance to the indigent and oppressed?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Rule 46, the only rule in Section VI on the duty to render legal aid, calls free legal assistance to the indigent and oppressed "one of the highest obligations an advocate owes to society". It applies to every advocate in practice, not only to seniors or government counsel. It is framed as an obligation, not mere charity.
