GAURAV KUMAR VS UNION OF INDIA
The Division Bench (two judges) held that SBCs cannot charge enrolment fees beyond the fees set out in Section 24(1)(f) of the Advocates Act and charging of such exorbitant fees is violative of right to equality under Article 14 and right to practise any profession under Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. The Court held that SBCs and Bar Council of India cannot demand additional payment of fees other than the enrolment fees and stamp duty set out in the Advocates Act. The Court pronounced its judgment with prospective effect, clarifying that SBCs are not required to refund excess enrolment fees collected from the applicants before the date of judgment. The judgment of the Court was authored by Chief Justice Chandrachud.
