The plea before High Court filed through advocates Lalit Kumar, Shashank Upadhyay and Mukesh, said that the BCD’s decision would bar the law graduates who come from far away parts of the country to practice law in Delhi in hopes of better prospects.
“The requirement of Aadhaar Card and Voter ID Card with the address of Delhi or NCR discriminates against those law graduates who do not have an address in Delhi or NCR. This creates an arbitrary classification between law graduates based on their residential address, which is a violation of Article 14,” the plea contended.
It stated that the blanket restriction on enrolment with BCD lacks intelligible differentia as to how a law graduate belonging to Agra having and graduated from National Law School, Bangalore is unequally placed with one domiciled in Meerut.
“The impugned notification is completely silent about the objective it seeks to achieve from the classification stipulated therein.”
