The Madras High Court today, July 3, directed the Bar Council of India (BCI) to issue guidelines urging state bar councils to initiate disciplinary action against advocates who advertise or solicit work directly or indirectly through ads, messages, touts etc. The high court bench of Justices SM Subramaniam and C Kumarappan also asked the BCI to register complaints against online service "providers/intermediaries" who act in breach of Rule 36 of the Bar Council of India Rules. "It is agonising that some of the legal professionals today are trying to adopt a business model. Legal service is neither a job nor a business. A business is driven purely by profit motive. But in law, larger part is a service to the society. Though a service fee is paid to a lawyer, it is paid out of respect for their time and knowledge," the court said. Madras High Court Discharges IPS Officer From a Case of Alleged Extortion.
