The Legal Practitioners (Bombay Amendment) Act, 1948

Civil19484 sections

This Act amends the Legal Practitioners Act of 1879 to apply specifically to the Province of Bombay. It allows legal practitioners to submit applications to subordinate courts rather than only the High Court, simplifying administrative procedures. Furthermore, it expands the definition of legal practitioners to include mukhtars, ensuring they are subject to the same admission and regulation rules as pleaders. This change clarifies the status of mukhtars and streamlines legal practice administration in the region.
