Adhereing to the directions of the Madras High Court, the BCI has now issued two communications – one to state bar councils and the other to major online service providers including Quikr, Sulekha, Just Dial and Grotal.
All state bar councils have been directed to take stringent disciplinary action against advocates found advertising or seeking work through online portals in violation of the Bar Council of India Rules.
Cease and desist notices have been issued to the online service providers. The notices address the illegal advertising and solicitation of legal services on these platforms.
