Delhi High Court Issues Notice On BCD’s Appeal Against Single Judge's Direction Asking It To Contribute Towards Budget Of CM Advocates Welfare Scheme

Live Law  

The Delhi High Court on Friday issued notice on an appeal moved by Bar Council of Delhi against the Single Bench's directions asking it to contribute towards the budget announced by Delhi government for Chief Minister Advocates Welfare Scheme, which is an insurance scheme for lawyers. The court in the 2021 ruling had observed that Delhi government cannot be made to solely bear the burden of providing the insurance premium and BCD must fund the annual deficit which may arise. The single bench had ruled that the Scheme shall be extended to all advocates registered with the bar council and whose names and credentials are verified, without insistence of Delhi Voter ID. “It is submitted that a large section of the Advocates residing in Delhi/New Delhi have also been excluded from the application of Chief Minister Welfare Scheme only on the ground that they do not possess the Voter ID, as such not only who are residing in NCR, who are practicing in Delhi and even those who are in Delhi have been excluded,” the plea states.
