to resolve the dispute and had directed that criminal action be taken against them.<\/p>\n<p>He had also directed the Centre to take appropriate steps to streamline the legal profession and told the Bar Council to go in for tighter norms for both admission to law colleges and for approval to new ones.<\/p>\n<p>When the matter came up today, the advocate general submitted that 42 people were enrolled during 2009-2016 as lawyers without furnishing any basic documents and without even providing their addresses.<\/p>\n<p>Though notices were issued to them online, only two replied and one of the person was even found to have enrolled twice.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Persons who have not even passed 6th or 7th and 10th standards are able to procure open university MA degrees.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, the said degrees have been used to get admissions into law colleges and obtain law degrees. Based on the same, they started enrolling (in the bar),&#8221; the AG said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is evident from the submissions that the very process of enrolment is a faulty one. Moreover, the process of acquiring a law degree is very easy by irregular and illegal means viz., purchasing degrees for money from letter pad colleges from other states,&#8221; the judge said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is very shocking to note that without even any formal education, people with criminal backgrounds are able to get law degree in absentia and able to get enrolled as advocates.<\/p>\n<p>Due to these kinds of unruly elements, problems are created in police stations, in courts and wherever they go,&#8221; the judge said.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, they were engaged like rowdy elements to take over the possession of properties and indulge in other property disputes, causing damage to the image of the legal profession, he said.<\/p>\n<p>The judge then referred to an order of a division bench of the court which had prohibited enrolment of a degree holder from an open university.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Without understanding or incapable of understanding the aforesaid position of law, it is surprising to note that the elected bar council members had allowed enrolling 713 persons with open university MA degree from the year 2009 to 2016,&#8221; he said directing issuance of notice to all these people by the state bar council.<\/p>\n<p>He also said for ensuring fair elections to the bar councils, verification, as ordered by the Supreme Court, based on Bar Council of India Certificate and Place of Practice (Verification) Rules, 2015 had to be completed to weed out the unruly elements and fake lawyers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This order is passed only to ensure that the order of the honourable Supreme Court is implemented by verifying the records of the lawyers and to see that the election with genuine and regular advocates as electorates is conducted,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Madras High Court today directed the Tamil Nadu Bar Council and Advocate General Vijay Narayan to issue notices to 713 people, who had enrolled as advocates after getting law degrees based on MA degrees of open universities from 2009 to 2016, for cancellation of their membership.
