Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Bar Council of India regarding the non-recognition of the Licentiate of the Court of Examiners in Homoeopathy (LCEH) as equivalent to a graduation degree for the purpose of enrollment as an Advocate. The Court ruled that the Bar Council has the authority to determine the equivalence of educational qualifications and that the appellant's claim of violation of Article 14 and principles of natural justice was unfounded. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's order that the appellant could not be enrolled as an Advocate based on her LCEH qualification.
