FILING OF VAKALATNAMA BY ADVOCATES
(i) Filing of Vakalatnama by Advocates appearing before the Courts
C.L.No. 53/VIIf-187/Admn. (G), dated September 28, 1992
I am directed to enclose herewith a copy of letter No. 7552/1992 dated August 1,
1992 from the Secretary, Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh, Allahabad, on the above subject,
and to request you kindly to bring the contents of this letter's enclosure to the notice of
all the advocates practicing in the judgeship and the other concerned for strict
compliance.
C.L.No.42/VIIf-249, dated
C.L. No. 47/VII-F-187/Admin (G) Sec. Dated: 4th November, 1997

It has come to the notice of the court that sometimes Vakalatnama on behalf of
clients in subordinate Courts are not filed by genuine Advocates.

The Vakalatnama may be general, but it confers vice authority upon the lawyer.
Instances have come to the notice of Bar Council that even persons who are not enrolled
as Advocates are filing Vakalatnama and putting appearance in the court. In case such
misrepresentation and fraud are not checked and is permitted to continue, it would cause
irreparable loss to the litigant public. This malignancy is to be checked and for that
purpose, the registration number/enrollment No. and full name of the Advocate must
necessarily be specified on the Vakalatnama so as to establish the identity of the
Advocate.

In order to avoid aforesaid misuse of Vakalatnama by unauthorized persons, the
court has been pleased to direct you as provided in rule 550 (1) of General Rule (Civil),
