After this case here, now again, I am conflicting with Bar Council of Andhra Pradesh (BC-AP) and Bar Council of India (BCI) regarding their charging of illegal Fees for Transfer of Enrollment from one State Bar to another. This violates the Section 18 – Transfer of name from one State roll to another of Advocates Act 1961.

In total both Bar Council usurped a total of Rs.7750/- from me to do a task for which the Parliament set a fee. Zero.

1. Fees charged by Bar Council of AP to provide me the NOC : Rs.2000/- (Bankers Check. No. 631280 in the name of Bar Council of Andhra Pradesh)
2. Fees charged by Bar Council of India to provide me the Transfer Order : Rs.5000/- (D.D. No. 631341 in the name of Secretary, Bar Council of India)
3. Fees charged by Bar Council of AP to issue an endorsement for me (in Original): Rs.750/- (D.D. No. 415310 in the name of Secretary, Bar Council of Andhra Pradesh)

It is frustrating to note that the people who run these statutory bodies, despite being fully aware what they are doing is illegal. No excuse or mercy to be shown to such unscrupulous people.

On 24-Jun-2026, I set the secretaries of both Bar Councils an email demanding my fees to be returned. Of course, I am not in any delusion that they will comply with my demand. These lot are think skinned. This is just prerequisite before filing a Writ Petition.

Subsequently On 24-Jun-2026, I sent a representations to both Bars through Speed Post.
