South Korean national can’t enrol as advocate here: BCI

BCI moves Delhi HC against allowing South Korean national to practice in India, citing potential entry of lawyers from Pakistan and Nepal. HC earlier directed BCI to process Daeyoung Jung's enrolment application. Case posted for further hearing in Dec.
The Bar Council of India (BCI) on Wednesday moved the Delhi High Court against an earlier direction by the court to process the enrolment of a South Korean national, Daeyoung Jung, as an advocate.
BCI chairman senior advocate Manan Kumar Mishra argued that allowing Mr. Jung to practice in India could “open a floodgate” as it may later result in the entry of lawyers from Pakistan and Nepal into the country.
Earlier this year, a single judge Bench of the court had set aside the BCI’s refusal to accept a request by Mr. Jung to enrol himself as an advocate in the country and directed the apex bar body to process his application as per law. The court posted the case for further hearing in December.
