My age now is 49 also planning for Mphil in finance stream and if possible PhD in the same so for practicing as an advocate will be great help for me . Can someone guide me what to do now ? I am confused
Trust Good sense prevails. The Liberty guaranteed by the constitution of India to the citizens cannot be hi jacked. In fact BCI itself should stand against any such moves by anyone.
All service class persons, if interested in acquiring LL.B.Degrees, must be allowed to do so. The Knowledge acquired through LL..B degrees widens our functional styles in public good and acts as multivariate catalyst to achieve justice, order ,peace and progress for individual as well for National ambits.
BCI has forgotten its objective – i.e. To spread education of law.
Instead it has become a corrupt body, cartel of sorts, which aids private law colleges, constrains the govt run ones. And tries to make law education money making business, an elitist profession and not for service of nation or under privileged. The arbitrary and constraint rules prevent access to justice
When ignorance of law is no excuse, how can age be an excuse in gaining knowledge of law.
We need BCI to be merged with UGC for the education function, or this function transferred, advocates act be amended
This govt showed some signs of tackling this menace, but didn’t complete the job
Thanks for moving Barton of justice to removed darkness of injustice which is hard to say for some but for right reason I would like because I tried once for NLIU at the time when I came to know this is first and last for reason of age. I felt disappointed very badly and hurt me a lot because I belong from remote place where mostly population of India spread. Please understand as of me like to do with passion to start at the right not at the late or left to fight.
I am really very sorry to comment that the BCI has really forgotten their real and foremost duty to put a check on the professional misconduct of their fellow brother- advocates and is imposing anti constitutional conditions on the new entrants in the pious profession of advocacy. The point of view of the Honorable Supreme Court of India ,on the subject is praiseworthy , i.e. no age for acquiring education .
I don’t find any reason as to why a particular course can not be studied after a particular age. I wish and hope that the Bar Council of India reconsider it’s decision to bar people from pursuing Law degree, get registered with BCI and even to practice; beyond a particular age.
I think supreme court must have to look into all the professional courses why only law field ? Only education qualification is not enough to sustain in life one must have to provide job opportunities in all the field but with all my responsibilities I would say the judiciary itself is very much corrupt and hence giving judgement and not analysing the ground reality lead to the default of the purpose, so that the supreme court must have to eliminate age restrictions from all the field .
I agree. Who is taking such decisions ? Who is the President of BCI now ?
Also write about the ageist rule that prevents people above age 25 to study Medicine in India.

Comprehensive n precise analysis by Authours, needs a review by BCI to have Advocates with varied age n experience to contribute in Judiciary.
What about evening law course
