Hello, The Bar Council of India clearly mentions in two points why a lawyer cannot do other business. If the purpose of his appointment as Deputy Prosecutor is to create a job for him, it goes without saying that Section 51 of the Regulations of the Bar Council of India would separate him from lawyers. Therefore, it would not be possible for him to claim that if he added up the years of work as an A. P.P., he would be seven years old as a lawyer. However, if it is to be interpreted that Article 25 of the Code of Criminal Procedure requires the appointment of a lawyer as deputy prosecutor for prosecution before the courts, it prevents the designated person from calling himself a lawyer. Sections 24, 29 and 30 of the Lawyers Act 1961 and the rules of the Bar Council of India would also deny him the right to be called a lawyer because he was appointed A.P.P. Therefore, such a person cannot be allowed to add the time to serve as an A.P.P. to the time of practice of the activity as a lawyer, because he claims “seven years of quality” as a lawyer.

The fame and greatness of an institution depends on its continuous and significant performance with grace and dignity. Since the profession of law is noble and honorable, it must continue its significant, useful and useful achievements, inspired by the high and rich traditions that coincide with its grace, dignity, utility and prestige. Therefore, the provisions of the Lawyers Act and the rules set out therein, which are intended, inter alia, to achieve the same, should be implemented in their true spirit and letter in order to maintain a clean and effective bar in the country to serve the cause of justice, who in turn is noble.
