Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the Advocates Act, 1961, including the right of appeal under Section 38, falls under Entry 77 of List I of the Constitution, thus not requiring a special agreement with State Governments as per Article 138(2). The Court held that the Act is primarily concerned with the qualifications, enrolment, and discipline of advocates, establishing that it does not partially fall under Entry 26 of List III. Consequently, the writ petition challenging the suspension order and the summary rejection of the appeal was dismissed.
