| Supreme Court of Judicature was established in Calcutta by Royal Charter. Similar courts were established in Madras (1801) and Bombay (1823). Without a judge’s or high-ranking official’s recommendation, Attorneys could not be admitted to practice. Therefore, it seemed as though British Barristers, Advocates, and Attorneys were the only ones allowed to practice before the Calcutta Supreme Court. The legal profession had increasingly been dominated by English barristers. The Charter of 1774, brought the British legal system and profession to India. Indians did not have right to appear before the Supreme Court. |
