“Important issue”: Supreme Court issues notice on plea against non-uniform and exorbitant enrolment fees collected by State Bar Councils

The Court further noted petitioner Gaurav Kumar’s submission as regards the stark difference in enrolment fees across States.

“Petitioner says it is 42,000 in Odisha whereas 20,000 in Kerala and thus denies lawyers the opportunity who do not have the resources,” it remarked.

“Issue notice. Liberty to serve the Bar Council of India,” the bench ordered.
