AoRs Can Give Appearance Of Only Those Advocates Who Are Authorized To Appear, Argue On A Particular Date : Supreme Court

In a case involving a fake Special Leave Petition (SLP), the Supreme Court issued a ruling mandating that Advocates-on-Record (AORs) can only allow advocates who are specifically authorized to appear and argue on behalf of a client. The ruling aimed to tighten procedural safeguards and prevent unauthorized representation in court proceedings. The court noted that the existing loopholes in legal documentation could be exploited to mislead courts, and this decision seeks to enforce accountability among legal professionals. This ruling serves as a deterrent to malpractices and reinforces the responsibility of AORs to maintain ethical standards in their legal practice.
