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

As part of his three-day visit to the United States, Prime Minister Narendra Modi engaged with top CEOs from the global technology sector, emphasizing India’s commitment to innovation, technology, and collaboration in cutting-edge industries. The roundtable discussions took place in New York, where PM Modi assured leaders from some of the world’s most influential tech companies of India’s focus on intellectual property protection and fostering an innovation-driven economy.


Technology and Innovation: The Focus of PM Modi’s Discussions


At the heart of his interactions, PM Modi spoke about the immense potential India offers for collaboration in advanced areas such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), quantum computing, semiconductors, and biotechnology. The roundtable included influential figures such as Shantanu Narayen (CEO of Adobe), Sundar Pichai (CEO of Google), Arvind Krishna (CEO of IBM), Lisa Su (CEO of AMD), and Jensen Huang (CEO of NVIDIA). These discussions were pivotal in exploring how India and the US can deepen ties in technology and innovation.


Key Highlights of the Roundtable


PM Modi used the opportunity to stress India’s strides in semiconductor manufacturing, electronics, and IT production, inviting the participating companies to explore opportunities in co-development, co-design, and co-production in India. He pointed to India’s transformation into a global tech hub and highlighted the government’s strategic efforts in areas such as:

- Semiconductor manufacturing and the BIO E3 policy aimed at boosting India’s position as a biotechnology powerhouse.

- AI for all with a focus on promoting the ethical and responsible use of Artificial Intelligence.

- Growth in electronics and IT manufacturing, with an emphasis on India becoming a leader in green technology development.


PM Modi emphasized that the India-US Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technologies (ICET) is central to the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership, and technology cooperation between the two countries could drive mutual growth and global benefits.


CEOs Express Keen Interest in India’s Tech Ecosystem


The CEOs were highly optimistic about India’s role as a global technology hub, driven by favorable policies, a booming market, and an expanding talent pool. Many CEOs showed interest in investing in Indian startups to co-create new technologies and solutions for the future.
