State Bar Council Has No Authority To Question Law Degree Certificate On Grounds Of Ineligibility To Obtain Certificate: Karnataka High Court

Live Law  

The Karnataka High Court has set aside an order passed by the Karnataka State Bar Council refusing to enroll a government servant who pursued a law degree while being in service and sought enrollment after his retirement on the ground that he did not submit any documents to show that he has attended the classes conducted by the college. To hold otherwise would be to open the pandora's box, for years later certificates might be questioned on grounds such as shortage of attendance, failure to clear internal tests, examinations and the like and it would be impossible for candidates possessing the degree and/or certificate to adduce cogent materials to satisfy those questioning the certificates.” The petitioner was appointed as a Typist in Principal Civil Judge & CJM, Bidar, and retired as an Assistant Registrar. It was argued that the petitioner passed the said course and Gulbarga University issued a Provisional Degree Certificate and Convocation Certificate. Accordingly, the Court held that in the present case, the petitioner was issued a provisional Degree Certificate after clearing all examinations, from a certified college and that the Bar Council's observation that he was ineligible to attain the degree was unsustainable.
