Indian Council of Legal Aid & Advice v. B.C.I., AIR 1995 SC 691 deals with the issue of prescribing age bar on enrolment of advocates. The Bar Council of India added Rule 9 in Chapter III of Part VI of the Bar Council of India Rules which reads as-“A person who has completed the age of 45 years on the date on which he submits his application for his enrollment as an advocate to the State Bar Council shall not be enrolled as an advocate”. The Court held that new Rule 9 violates the principle of equality enshrined in Article 14 of the Constitution.
