Bar Council of India Removes 107 Fake Advocates from  Delhi Roll to Uphold Legal Integrity The Bar Council of India (BCI) has taken decisive action in a sweeping initiative aimed at maintaining the integrity of the legal profession by removing 107 fake advocates  from the Roll of Advocates in Delhi  between 2019 and October 2024. This step comes as part of the BCI's rigorous verification process to ensure that only qualified, genuinely practising advocates remain in the profession, ultimately upholding public trust in the legal system. Strengthened Verification Framework Under Rule 32 This effort falls under Rule 32 of the Bar Council of India Certificate and Place of Practice (Verification) Rules, 2015 . The BCI  amended Rule 32 on June 23, 2023 , which empowered the BCI to verify, identify, and systematically remove unqualified and fake advocates from the Roll. The rule amendment has made the process of weeding out non-compliant individuals significantly more efficient. Accordi

Political Turmoil in Haryana: CM Saini Faces Floor Test

Political Turmoil in Haryana: CM Saini Faces Floor Test


Haryana Special Assembly Session: CM Saini to Prove Majority Amid Political Turmoil


The political landscape of Haryana is witnessing upheaval as the state gears up for a special assembly session today. Newly elected Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini is poised to undergo a floor test to prove his majority amidst shifting alliances and resignations. Saini, a Lok Sabha MP from Kurukshetra, replaced his predecessor, senior BJP leader Manohar Lal Khattar, and took oath as the Chief Minister in a ceremony held at Raj Bhawan, Chandigarh.


Legal Context:


The constitutional provision governing the appointment and tenure of Chief Ministers in Indian states is outlined in Article 164 of the Indian Constitution. According to this provision, the Chief Minister is appointed by the Governor of the state and holds office at the pleasure of the Governor. Additionally, Article 75 of the Constitution pertains to the appointment of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers at the national level.


Constitutional Provisions:


The principles of parliamentary democracy and the rule of law enshrined in the Indian Constitution guide the functioning of state governments and legislative assemblies. Article 356 of the Constitution empowers the President to impose President's Rule in a state in case of failure of constitutional machinery, ensuring the stability and integrity of state governance.


Case Laws:


The legality and constitutional validity of floor tests and confidence motions have been subject to judicial review by the Supreme Court of India. In the landmark case of Rameshwar Prasad v. Union of India (2006), the Supreme Court established guidelines for conducting floor tests to determine the majority support of a Chief Minister in the legislative assembly. The court emphasized the importance of upholding democratic principles and ensuring transparency in the process of government formation.


Conclusion:


As the special assembly session unfolds in Haryana, the spotlight remains on the democratic process of government formation and the assertion of majority support by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. The outcome of the floor test will not only determine the stability of the state government but also shape the political trajectory of Haryana in the coming days. Adherence to constitutional provisions, legal principles, and judicial precedents will be pivotal in upholding the integrity and credibility of the democratic process.
