PATNA: Lawyers abstained from court work and other professional duties across the state for the second consecutive day on Thursday at the call of Bar Council of India (BCI). In many districts, lawyers burned the copies of five controversial bills proposed by the Centre before the offices of district magistrates.
At Patna high court, a large number of lawyers assembled at a programme organized by Advocates Association, with its president Yogesh Chandra Verma explaining the reasons for opposing the five bills. The bills, he said, seek to usurp the statutory powers of the Bar Council of India and State Bar Councils.

PUNE: The Bar Council of India (BCI) will frame rules for renewal of ’sanads’ (licence to practice as lawyer) in two months, Vitthal Konde-Deshmukh, chairman of the Bar Council of Maharashtra and Goa, said on Wednesday.
BCI chairman Manan Kumar Mishra had said here on June 6 that the Bar council had passed a resolution, making it mandatory for lawyers to renew sanads every five years to ensure that they do not get engaged in private services.
As per the resolution, lawyers will have to pay Rs 600 as renewal fee within six months. Otherwise they will not be entitled to practise in the country.
During a visit to the district and sessions court on Thursday, Konde-Deshmukh said that the BCI has started the process to frame rules and will delegate the power to renew sanads to 13 state bar councils.

NEW DELHI: Advocates with a turnover of up to Rs 10 lakhs, companies engaged in construction of metro projects, law firms, and entities providing public conveniences will not have to pay 12 per cent service tax.
The government today announced that 14 more services would be exempted from payment of service tax by including them in the negative list which shall come into effect from July 1.
With the inclusion of 14 items, the total number of services in the negative list will go up to 38. All other services which do not figure in the list would be taxed.
Releasing the 107-page book ‘Taxation of service: An Education Guide’, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said that with the expansion of the service tax base, it would be possible for “the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) to exceed the collection target of Rs 1.24 lakh crore in the current fiscal”.
The government has collected Rs 97,000 crore on account of service tax in the last financial year. For the current year, the government has hiked the service tax rate by two per cent to 12 per cent.
As per the guide, the 14 services which will be exempted from payment of tax include lending of books, publications or any other knowledge enhancing content or material by public libraries.
