FILING OF VAKALATNAMA BY ADVOCATES

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),
526
the presiding officers should call for the certificate of enrolment are otherwise satisfy
himself of the fact of enrolment of the person appearing as an Advocate.

The aforesaid direction may be complied with meticulously.
Compliance of direction in order dated 3.3.2006 in Civil Misc. Writ Petition No.
12458 of 2006- Purshottam Giri Vs. Deputy Director Consolidation, Bulandshahr
and others.
C.L. No. 20/2006: Admin ̳G' Dated: 29th May, 2006

The Hon'ble Court while dealing with particulars in Vakalatnama filed by the
advocates, has noticed that generally the Vakalatnama filed by the advocates do not contain
all requisite details as provided by rules and resolution dated 10.12.1989 passed by the Bar
Council taking cognizance of the fact that unscrupulous elements can be seen to be playing
tricks with the Courts bringing disrepute to the judiciary as well as to the dignity of the
lawyers community. Therefore, while enclosing herewith a copy of order dated 3.3.2006 in
Civil Misc. Writ Petition No. 12458 of 2006- Purshottam Giri Vs. Deputy Director
Consolidation, Bulandshahr and others, I am directed to request that the contents of and
directions in the order dated 3.3.2006 aforesaid, be unerringly gone though all the way for
ensuring strict compliance by all concerned under your administrative control.
