Legal issue and reasoning

Fresh graduates and provisional enrollees must qualify and produce their certificates within the applicable two-year framework. The notification follows approval by the High Court’s Full Court.

Consequence and next step

The direction establishes a concrete compliance obligation for affected advocates in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. Practitioners should verify their enrolment category and deadline.
