Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that it cannot issue a writ of mandamus to the Central Government to enforce Section 30 of the Advocates' Act, 1961, as the enforcement date is at the Government's discretion. However, the Court emphasized that the Government must consider whether the time for enforcement has arrived, given the significant delay since the Act's passage in 1961. The Court highlighted the importance of exercising discretionary powers fairly and justly, especially in light of ongoing restrictions on advocates' rights to appear before certain courts and tribunals.
