Starting law practice as advocate again after gap of several years

[Anonymous]

Sir, I am an advocate (having registered with bar council of MP and practised at GWALIOR) but left the law practice since 2001. Since then I had no contact with my bar council. Can I start law practice again? If not what other option for me in this field.

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

If you had suspended your advocate practice by writing to your State Bar Council, then you can apply to the Bar Council for resumption of your practice. Once the Bar Council permits you to resume your law practice, you can start your practice afresh.

On the other hand, if you had not suspended your practice, then you can simply start your practice again.

However, if you had cancelled your registration / enrolment as an advocate, then you may have to enrol with the State Bar Council afresh to start your practice.
