Courts can't rewrite deadlines set by Bar Council for lawyer enrolment: Kerala High Court

The Kerala High Court ruled that the Bar Council of Kerala cannot alter deadlines for lawyer enrolment. The court emphasized that deadlines set by the council must be adhered to and cannot be extended or rewritten. This decision arose from a case where the Bar Council's decision to extend the enrolment period was challenged, arguing that such changes were beyond their authority and violated established norms. The court's stance reinforces the importance of maintaining deadlines as prescribed to ensure fairness and consistency in the legal profession's administrative processes.
