The Supreme Court on Friday sought a response from the Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh regarding a petition challenging the high fee for enrolment as an advocate.
A bench comprising Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud along with Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, issued notice to the bar body and scheduled the matter for a hearing in two weeks.

Upon inquiry by the bench about the petitioner’s suggestion for a reasonable fee, the law graduate responded that Rs 750 should be charged, as per the provisions of the Advocates Act.
