During the COVID-19 plagued year of 2021, lawyers were seen grappling with closed offices, new video conferencing facilities and health concerns.
Taking into account all of the above, a decision was made by the top court to grant the said relaxation.
“Considering the fact that the Covid pandemic afflicted the world in the years 2020 and 2021, the Competent Authority has been pleased to direct that the Advocates-on-Record Examination held in December, 2021 shall not be reckoned as a chance while counting the permissible five chances under Regulation 11(iv). Accordingly, as one-time relaxation, one more chance will be given to the eligible candidates on the basis of their result in the last examination they appeared at,” the Advocates-on-Record Examination Cell said in a circular.
