Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of Rule 3 and Rule 3A of Chapter XXIV of the Allahabad High Court Rules, 1952, stating that these rules do not violate Section 30 of the Advocates Act, 1961. The Court emphasized that the rules are designed to ensure that only advocates who are registered with the local Bar Council can represent clients in the Allahabad High Court, thereby maintaining the integrity of legal practice in the region. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition was rejected, affirming the constitutionality of the rules in question.
