mandamus to restricts the advocates being also public representatives in the republic of
swarajaya to practice law till they are discharging the duties as public representatives.
The aforesaid matter as is coming under Article 19 of the constitution of Swarajaya and since the
public representatives also work full time, therefore they cannot devote full time to the
profession of advocacy which shall be detrimental to the interests of the clients /litigants.

business or profession of their choice.

S UMMARY OF ARGUMENTS
In the present matter it is hereby relied upon by me upon the rule 49 of the bar council that
anybody in full time employment should be barred from practicing law in the courts.
That when a person assumes resp onsibility of two offices cannot whole heartedly do the work of
any one of the offices and hence is detrimental for the stakeholders of those offices whose the
person has assumed charge.
It should be noted specifically that the state can make law relating to the condition of practice of
any profession, and state here also includes any agency of the state and also under Article 19(6)
of the Constitution of Swarajaya state can make laws to restrict too.
The prescription under any law for the times being in force also includes the restriction to be
prescribed which can be very well done by the state in the present case.
