The BAI's plea has proposed the establishment of a National Digital Registry for the Legal Profession of India (NDRLP), a centralised, technology-driven database assigning each advocate a unique identifier linked to verified qualifications, enrolment status and disciplinary records.
A Bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justice V Mohana today observed that it would have to consider the response of various stakeholders before such an exercise can be undertaken.
"Looks like a novel reform, but all law universities have to be made parties and they should disclose who are the bona fide law graduates from those institutes," remarked CJI Kant.
