Dear Manoj

My opinion on your queries are as under:-

1. Can I enroll in the state bar council 3-4 years after passing LLB? Will there be any challenge in doing so?

Opinion:- there is no bar for enrollment after 3-4 years from the passing of the law, so no need to worry.

2. Which is a approach and correct approach, enrolling right now and getting my license suspended for 3-4 years or waiting for 3-4 years and then enrolling once I am ready to start practice?

Opinion:- It will be better to enroll with state bar council whenever you want to start practice

3. I want to enroll in Delhi or Haryana, so please provide any inputs which are specific to these states if possible.

Opinion:- It is your choice but if you want to practice in Haryana then it will be better to enrolled in Haryana Bar Council.

4. What about the bar council exam (AIBE) can I give it before enrollment or I have to wait for enrollment?

Opinion:- It can be given within two years of the enrolment.

5. At some places I have read that you can practice without clearing the AIBE exam for 2 years and at another place I read that you cannot sign vaqalatnama until a Certificate Of Practice is issued after clearing the AIBE. Which is correct?

Opinion:- After enrolment, you may file your vakalatnama and fight the case, you will get a provisional certificate for the same and till two years from the enrolment you may fight the cases.

within two years, you have to clear the AIBE and than continue your practice.

Feel Free to Call

Legally yes in case you are enrolled and provisional certificate is given then you have to get same suspended till the time you are ready to practice. SO its better to enrol when you are practising.

It is forbidden by law , recently in kerala bar council suspends lawyer for running side business.

But if you still want to do it. Just do it by some else name .

You need to have your licence suspended as you cannot run any business as per advocate act

Advocacy is full time profession and you cannot do any business or profession along with the advocacy you have to get your licence suspended for that period you do not want to do it as full time profession

You can apply for enrollment where ever you want and as per present rules have to clear Bar Council Examination if desired by your Bar where you wants to enroll.Once you have been enrolled as an Advocate you cannot join any office of profit. So please apply for enrollment immediately.

You can get enrolled any time after passing LLB. There is no time limit prescribed.

You can get enrolled now and surrender the licence. But while enrolling you need to give affidavit stating you have no other income source. You cannot state that you have income and you want to surrender it. So it will be beneficial if you apply after 3-4 yrs.

AIBE can be given only after enrollment. Without enrollment in state bar council you are not eligible for AIBE.

You get temporary licence for 2 years when you enroll in state bar council. In that two years you should pass AIBE. If you fail to pass then after 2 years your licence is suspended till you pass it

1. You can very well get yourself enrolled if you are conforming to the eligibility conditions.

2. There is nothing wrong to get enrolled now but to confirm the enrolment you may have to clear the AIB examinations before that you cannot even get your license suspended because you will not be confirmed as an advocate until you pass the said examination.

3. You may confirm the eligibility conditions from the bar council by making a visit to the office of the respective bar council.

4. It is only after enrolment.

5. You are right that until you are not passing the AIBE you will not get certificate of practice,therefore the vakalat signed by you before that period will not be validated if you do not clear the said examination within two years from the date of enrolment

So If I enroll now, do I have to get my license suspended as an advocate cannot run any business as per the advocates act?

Your understanding is right.

1. yes you can register your self after 3-4 years also.

2. Register when you are sure that you have to practise in the court of law

3. There are no specifics, your id, photo, degrees and address proof is required.

4. You have to give it after enrollment, within 2 year of the enrollment.

Ethically as per the BCI Act you can not run any business actively while possessing the license of the bar
