To,

The Secretaries

of all the State Bar Councils

Sub. : Intimation of Resolution dated 30.12.2022 passed by the General Council of the Bar Council of India.

Sir/s,

This is bring to your kind knowledge that General Council of the Bar Council of India has passed a resolution with regard to exemption of time period with regard to passing AIBE after Enrolment as an Advocate. The Resolution dated 3012.2022 is given below :-

          The Bar Council of India has been receiving requests from many Advocates that owing to the pandemic, they have suffered miserably. Many of them were not even able to take care of basic necessities of their families. If they were able to arrange for fooding they had difficulty in arranging for medication and health care. Many Advocates lost their near and dear ones during the time of pandemic. Inspite of the best efforts of Bar Council of India, State Bar Councils, various Bar Associations and many magnanimous Advocates,  the legal fraternity as a whole suffered a lot due to closure of courts. Thereafter, hogging of virtual hearings by a certain segment of Advocates and also due to the reduction in the paying capacity of clients and reduction in the number of litigations owing to the pandemic, also led to a majority of the legal fraternity from being literally deprived of their right to livelihood.

 

          The Bar Council of India had earlier vide a resolution dated 29.7.2020 had exempted the period from 24^th March to 31^st March, 2021 from being counted as a necessary time period from the point of view of considering it within the requisite time period of two years from the date of enrolment, to clear the AIBE in order to further continue in practice.

 

          By way of this instant resolution, dated 30^th December, 2022, it is hereby resolved that the period from the date of the last All India Bar  exam held on 31^st October, 2021 till-April, 2023, by which time, the result of the next AIBE is likely to be declared,  is hereby exempted from being counted as a necessary time period from the point of view of considering it within the requisite time period of two years from the date of enrolment as an Advocate to pass AIBE.

           Thus, it is hereby resolved that this period shall remain exempted and shall not be counted while calculating the two year period from the date of enrolment for the purposes of counting the time period for clearing/passing AIBE.

This is for your information and necessary action.

                                                                                                Yours sincerely,

                                                                                                (Srimanto Sen)
