Advocate Enrollment | Minimum Percentage Thresholds Cannot Override Natural Justice & Right to Hearing : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court has ruled that the Bar Council must provide a fair opportunity to applicants who fall slightly below the minimum academic percentage, emphasizing that procedural fairness under Article 14 and audi alteram partem takes precedence over mechanical application of rules. This sets a critical precedent for all state Bar Councils handling enrollment applications with borderline academic credentials.
