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 regulate the practice of advocates in the High Court and ensure that only those on the Roll of Advocates can represent clients. The appeal challenging the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition was therefore rejected, affirming the High Court's earlier decision in Shashi Kant Upadhyay's case.
