Samuel John did his Law from Harvard Law School, USA. He is keen on practicing law in India. How can he do so? |
He has to seek permission from the Supreme Court of India He has to take citizenship of India He can do so if there is reciprocity agreement of his country with India He can do so on a letter of recommendation from Harvard Law School, USA |
He can do so if there is reciprocity agreement of his country with India |
The correct answer is Option (3) → He can do so if there is reciprocity agreement of his country with India In order for a foreign national to practice law in India, there must be a reciprocity agreement between the foreign national's home country and India. This means that lawyers from India must be allowed to practice law in that country as well. The Bar Council of India regulates the admission of foreign lawyers and ensures that this principle is upheld. Simply having a foreign degree or a letter of recommendation does not qualify one to practice law in India unless this agreement is in place. |
