2. Nor am I an OCI lawyer working in India.
3. But I must say, I don't see anything that suggests reciprocity is being done away with. Of course, maybe I am missing something not mentioned in the story or where the story was incorrect, but your linking it implies that you are relying on the news story. Therefore, can you clarify what you mean?
How do OCIs working for law firms looking at the proposed Advocates Act amendment that looks to do away with reciprocity and looks to bring law firms under its ambit viewing this amendment? Will they fall under the definition of "foreign lawyers"?
