Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether an Advocate on Record can register under a firm name rather than their personal name. The petitioner, Siddharth Murarka, argued that not allowing this registration puts him at a disadvantage compared to partnership firms. The court noted the unprofessional conduct in the petitioner's previous communications but decided to explore a solution to his grievance after he withdrew his complaints.
