The Court clarified that the required three years of legal practice shall be calculated from the date of enrollment with the Bar Council, and not from the date of passing the All India Bar Examination (AIBE). Noting the inconsistency in the scheduling of AIBE, the Bench held that enrollment date would offer a uniform benchmark. Additionally, a certification from the Principal District Judge shall be mandatory to validate the candidate’s practice. In case of practice before a High Court, the certificate must be endorsed by a senior advocate with a minimum of ten years of standing.
