You can't exclude an entire class of advocates: Karnataka HC asks State to review KSBC scheme for disbursing Rs 5 crore to needy advocates
Under the said KSBC scheme, lady advocates, young advocates enrolled on or after 1/1/2010, and advocates who have enrolled after the age of 40 years are not eligible for the amount.
The state government on Monday informed the Karnataka High Court Court that no more funds can be released for the benefit of advocate clerks amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The State further asked the Karnataka State Bar Council (KSBC) to give financial assistance to advocate clerks from the Rs 5 crore already disbursed to it for financially disadvantaged advocates.
