New Delhi, April 13: Reports said that the Chairman of the Bar Council of India told Supreme Court judges that, according to statistics from the BCI’s ongoing verification process, 45% of lawyer dgrees  in India are fake.

The SC judges voiced concern over the prevalence of fake lawyers in the country. The Chief Justice said that I am so happy that BCI has started the verification process. But it is not only about people with false degrees, but also those with no degrees. These people work without a licence. They go to court and practice without any authority. We need to start much before, right from the institutions.

The number of fake lawyers across the country may well touch the halfway mark, if the Bar Council of India's two year old verification drive is to be believed. The number of practicing lawyers is about to come down to 55-60% after the completion of the verification process. 

 The verification drive was mildly controversial and prolonged, even causing the postponement of BCI elections. The Supreme Court had given the BCI till January 2017 to complete its verification drive.(Inputs from Agencies)
