What does Rule 47 of Part VI, Chapter II of the Bar Council of India Rules permit an advocate to do in relation to business?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Rule 47 says an advocate "shall not personally engage in any business" but "may be a sleeping partner in a firm doing business". That is allowed only if the appropriate State Bar Council thinks the business is not inconsistent with the profession's dignity. Lawfulness of the business alone is not the test.
