B. Advocates: Under the Advocates Act, 1961, anyone enrolled as an advocate with a State Bar Council is permitted to practice law in India.

C. Advocate on Record: This term refers to a specific category of advocates who are permitted to represent clients in the Supreme Court. They must fulfill additional requirements as specified by the Supreme Court.

" The Advocates Act recognizes only one class of practitioners, that is, Advocates. An Advocate on the State Rolls is entitled to practice as of right before any tribunal, or authority of India, or any court including the Supreme Court. Advocates have been classified as Senior Advocates and other Advocates. The designation of an Advocate as a Senior Advocate is the responsibility of the Supreme Court or High Court based on the ability, experience and standing in the Bar of the Advocate in question. In 1977, the provisions relating to dual system (Advocates and Attorneys) in the Bombay and Calcutta High Courts were deleted. Any advocate enrolled in the State Rolls is entitled to practice in the Supreme Court. The Advocate- on- Record (AOR) is another category of Advocate in the Supreme Court. "
