Synopsis
The court also recognised that lawyers residing in NCR but practising in Delhi play a role in dispensation of justice here.
The annual deficit in the budget allocated by the Delhi government shall be contributed by the Bar Council of Delhi, the court clarified.
The Delhi High Court has held that the benefit of the Chief Minister s Advocates Welfare Scheme shall extend to all advocates registered with the Bar Council of Delhi, irrespective of whether they are registered as a voter in the national capital. Justice Prathiba M Singh said primacy is to be given to the place of practice of a lawyer and not the place of residence, and that not all can afford to live in the national capital even if they practice here.
