Section 24A(1)(c) of the Advocates Act, 1961 disqualifies a person dismissed or removed from employment or office under the State on a charge involving moral turpitude. For this clause, 'State' has the meaning assigned to it in which Article of the Constitution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
The Explanation to Section 24A(1)(c) says that "State" has the meaning assigned to it under "Article 12" of the Constitution. Dismissal or removal by any authority that is the State in that sense, and not only by a government department, can therefore attract the disqualification. Clause (c) was added by the 1993 amendment.
