Bare Act

The Legal Practitioners (Tamil Nadu Amendment) Act, 1960

This law amends the Legal Practitioners Act of 1879 to remove the requirement for stamped paper when renewing a certificate to practice as a pleader. It specifically benefits lawyers who had enrolled for life as advocates of the Chief Court, Pudukkottai, or those who transferred from the former state of Travancore-Cochin to Tamil Nadu and had life enrollment in subordinate courts there. By waiving this fee, the Act reduces administrative burdens and financial costs for these specific legal professionals, ensuring they can continue practicing without additional stamp duty expenses.
