Question

Section 24 A of Advocates Act 1961 provides the

• A. Appointment of Attorney General
• B. Regular attendance at Law College
• C. Admitted for enrolment in Bar or State Roll
• D. Election to state Bar Council

Hint:

For professional ethics and bar council related questions, be very precise about the section numbers of the Advocates Act, 1961. Sections like 24 (Enrolment), 35 (Punishment for misconduct), and 49 (BCI's power to make rules) are frequently asked.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
The question asks about the content of Section 24A of the Advocates Act, 1961. This Act governs the legal profession in India.

Step 2: Key Legal Provision:
Section 24 of the Advocates Act, 1961, lays down the conditions for a person to be "admitted as an advocate on a State roll." Section 24A deals with "Disqualification for enrolment."

Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
There seems to be a slight inaccuracy in the question's reference. - Section 24 specifies the qualifications required for a person to be admitted for enrolment on a State Roll (e.g., being a citizen of India, having completed 21 years of age, and obtaining a degree in law). - Section 24A specifies the grounds for disqualification from enrolment (e.g., being convicted of an offence involving moral turpitude). The options provided relate to the general subject of enrolment. - (A) Appointment of Attorney General is a constitutional matter (Article 76), not under the Advocates Act. - (B) Regular attendance at a Law College is a requirement set by the Bar Council of India Rules for obtaining a law degree, which is a pre-condition under Section 24. - (D) Elections to the State Bar Council are dealt with in other sections of the Act. - (C) Admitted for enrolment in Bar or State Roll is the subject matter of Section 24. Given that Section 24A deals with disqualification for the same enrolment, option (C) is the most closely related subject matter. The question likely intended to refer to the broader topic of enrolment covered by both Section 24 and 24A. Among the given choices, this is the only relevant one.

Step 4: Final Answer:
While Section 24A specifically deals with disqualification, the broader topic it relates to is admission and enrolment on the State Roll. Therefore, option (C) is the most appropriate answer.
