THE BAR COUNCIL OF TAMILNADU & PUDUCHERRY
P.S. AMALRAJ High Court
CHAIRMAN
The Hon’ble Chief Minister,
Government of Puducherry.
Puducherry Union Territory.
Hon’ble Sir,
The Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry is a statutory body
functioning under, the Advocates Act, 1961 and the Bar Council of India
Rules. More than 1300Advocates have enrolled before the Bar Council
and practicing all over the Union Teritory of Puducherry.l would like to
bring to the notice of the Hon’ble Chief Minister that Covid -19 pandemic
is effectively brought normal life of all persons including Advocates.
The Tamilnadu government is giving financial aid of Rs. 8 crores
per year and each advocates have to affix stamps fora sum of Rs. 301
in all the Vakalathnamas/Memo of Appearance but the government
advocates are exempted from the same and the same is followed
though out the State of Tamilnadu.
But no such rule is being followed in the Union Territory of
Puducherry and there is no proper rule for affixing stamps or for
generating funds for the welfare of fund. Moreover, the Advocates
Welfare Fund Act has not been implemented for the Puduchery
Advocates.

However, Scheme has been framed by the Government of
Puducherry and paying financial aid to the family members of the
deceased Advocates practiced in Puducherry. Therefore, it is necessary
to pass Government order to generate funds for the welfare of the
Advocates. Further, the Government of Puducherry has passed a
Notification in G.O.Ms.No. 14/2008LD, dated 02.07.2008, by which a
Trustee Committee has been constituted with 8 Members but the same
is not implemented so far
Therefore, we request the Government of Puducherry to frame
appropriate rules to generate funds to the Welfare of the Advocates and
for affixing stamps, etc.. If Puducherry government provides financial aid
like the Tamilnadu government providing financial aid, then the funds will
be provided to the members of the deceased advocates and they will be
benefited at large
Hence, we request the Honble Chief Minister to take appropriate
steps to implement the scheme to generate funds to the Advocates
Welfare Fund and do the needful and the Advocates practicing at
Puducherry will be grateful to your good self forever
Thanking You,
Yours faithfuly
