    Courts, District Courts, Sessions Courts or City Civil Courts, a
    black tie may be worn instead of bands.

    II. LADY ADVOCATES

    (a)Black full sleeve jacket or blouse, white collar stiff or soft,

    black coat and bands.

    III. Wearing of Advocates' gown shall be optional except when


    appearing in the Supreme Court or in High Courts.

    IV. Except in Supreme Court and High Courts during summer wearing of
    black coat is not mandatory.

    * Amendment recommended by the Rules Committee at its meeting dt.


    24.08.2001 was approved by the Bar Council of India at its meeting
    held on 25th and 26th August, 2001 (Resolution No. 121/2001). The
    Chief Justice of India approved the Rules vide letter dt. 12.11.2001
    subject to modification of Rule IV. The amendment suggested by the
    Hon'ble Chief Justice of India was incorporated in Rule IV vide
    Resolution No. 155/2001 dt. 22nd and 25th December, 2001.

    In the change brought about in the Dress Rules, there appears to be


    some confusion in so far as the Sub Courts are concerned. For
    removal of any doubt it is clarified that so far as the courts other
    than Supreme Court and High Court are concerned during summer while
    wearing black coat is not mandatory, the advocates may appear in
    white shirt with black, white striped or gray pant with black tie or
    band and collar.*

    * Meeting dt. 23/24-2-2002
