Vijay Dhanji Chaudhary vs Suhas Jayant Natawadkar

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of the role of Advocate-on-Record under the Supreme Court Rules, 1966, emphasizing that they must actively participate in the preparation and conduct of cases rather than merely serving as name-lenders. The Court highlighted the necessity for Advocates-on-Record to fulfill their responsibilities to maintain the integrity of the legal process. Consequently, the Court issued a notice to the Advocate-on-Record Association to reconsider the implications of such practices and ensure compliance with the rules.
