Currently the winter session of Parliament is going on.
In this session, Parliament has approved the Advocates (Amendment) Bill, 2023.
This bill provides for amendment in the Advocates Act, 1961.
The purpose of this bill is to eliminate the role of brokers in court premises.
It repeals certain sections under the Legal Practitioners Act 1879 relating to agents or brokers.
It provides that the District Judge, Sessions Judge, District Magistrate and Revenue Officer not below the rank of District Collector in every High Court may prepare or issue a list of brokers.
Broker means a person who buys or offers to buy the services of a legal practitioner in any legal matter for money.
Now once the passed bill becomes law, the court or judge can expel any person included in the broker list from the court premises.
After the name appears in the broker list, the broker can face imprisonment of up to three months or a fine of Rs 500 or both.
