The Delhi Bar Council recently released a notification vide which only candidates having Voter ID Cards / Aadhar Cards having a Delhi NCR address will be considered eligible for the purposes of enrollment.
This move is a significant departure from the subsisting practice of considering a valid rent agreement as sufficient proof of residence.
For a law graduate keen on practising in the courts of Delhi, but having a permanent residence in some other state, this move is a hammer blow. The earlier practice of accepting a valid rent agreement as proof of residence is sufficient to curtail the enrollment of law graduates who have no intention of carrying out their practice in Delhi.
