SAGIA vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of Rule 6(2) of the U.P. Document Writers Licence Rules, 1977, stating that it does not violate Section 69(hhh) of the Registration Act, 1908. The Court ruled that advocates are not exempt from obtaining a licence to act as document writers, as their rights are governed by the Rules under which they operate. The petitioner's challenge was dismissed, affirming that they cannot contest the rules that regulate their licensing and eligibility as document writers.
