Section 45 of AA : Section 45: Penalty For Persons Illegally Practising In Courts And Before Other Authorities

Explanation using Example

Imagine a person named John, who is not a qualified lawyer, starts representing clients in a court of law, claiming he is entitled to do so. However, under the provisions of the Advocates Act, 1961, only individuals who are registered as advocates are allowed to practice before courts in India. Since John is not registered and is not entitled to practice, if caught, he could be charged under Section 45 of the Advocates Act, 1961. Consequently, John could face imprisonment for up to six months for unlawfully practicing in court.
