💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court of India ruled that advocates do not have an indefeasible right to appear in judicial records without authorization to represent litigants. The court upheld the statutory rules set by the Supreme Court and instructed advocates-on-record to certify the execution of vakalatnama, a legal document authorizing an advocate to represent a party, if signed in their presence.
