NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court today asked the Centre to notify the amended Jammu and Kashmir State Bar Council Draft Rules after the Bar Council of India (BCI) said it had approved it.
A bench headed by Chief Justice T S Thakur gave the direction to notify the rules in four weeks, after the counsel for BCI told the court that it has approved the amended Jammu and Kashmir State Bar Council draft rules.
Advocate A K Prasad appearing for BCI told a bench, which also comprised Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud, that the draft rules will now be forwarded to the Central Government for publication in the gazette.
The bench posted the matter for further hearing on the issue after six weeks. (AGENCIES)
