Bare Act

The Kerala Public Accountants (Amendment) Act, 2007

This law updates the rules governing public accountants in Kerala by defining who qualifies as a Government Law Officer. It requires the metropolitan collector to supervise accountants who handle government legal matters in lower courts and tribunals. Similarly, the court-appointed advocate general is designated as the head of department for government advocates appearing in higher courts. Essentially, the legislation clarifies the hierarchical chain of command for legal representatives working for the state while also formalizing and replacing a previous 2007 ordinance without affecting prior legal actions.
