SURAJMAL SUROLIA vs THE BAR COUNCIL OF INDIA & OTHERS

The Supreme Court ruled that the petitioner was not entitled to be enrolled as an advocate under Section 24(3) of the Advocates Act, 1961, as he failed to prove his right to practice in a High Court of a former Part B State. The Court clarified that the court of Ijlas Thikana Khetri was not recognized as a High Court, and thus the petitioner did not meet the necessary qualifications for enrollment. Consequently, the petition was dismissed, affirming the rejection of the petitioner's application by the Delhi Bar Council.
