A religious test for enrolment as a pleader was abolished, and persons of any nationality and religion could be enrolled as a pleader. Every Barrister enrolled in any of Her Majesty's Courts in India became eligible to plead in the Sadar Adalats subject to the rules of those Courts applicable to pleaders as regards language or any other matter. The Legal Practitioners Act also permitted Vakils to enter into agreements with their clients for their fees for professional services.
