The Advocate (Amendment) Bill, 2025, which was earlier made available for public consultation on February 13, 2025, is set to undergo fresh deliberations with stakeholders.
In an official communication issued today by Dhruva Kumar Singh, Chief Controller of Accounts, Ministry of Law & Justice, the government has acknowledged the receipt of multiple suggestions and concerns from various stakeholders and the public.
