Advocates who play a major role in the development of the country should refrain from involving in activities which might go against the welfare of the state, Justice Vineet Kothari, Acting Chief Justice of the Madras high court, said on Friday.

Justice Vineet Kothari also said he felt happy to see a large number of women coming into the legal profession, almost equalling men.

Delivering a special address during the mass enrolment of newly graduated lawyers, organised by the Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, here, Justice Kothari said: “With hard work, honesty and humanity, an advocate can excel in his profession.”

The event, in which more than 400 newly graduated lawyers were enrolled as members of the Bar, was organised in the Bar council building on the high court premises.

The welcome address was delivered by advocate P S Amalraj, chairman of the bar council, and the enrolment was moved by advocate M Krishnasamy, former Congress MP.

Administration of oath for the newly enrolled advocates was tendered by advocate and head of Bar council’s enrolment committee K Balu, while they were felicitated by senior advocate and former attorney general of India K Parasaran and BCI co-chairman S Prabakaran.

Among others who attended the function were T Michael Stanis Prabhu, C Srimurugaa, members of the enrolment committee of the bar council, and C Rajakumar, secretary of the council.
