The Letter of Punjab Bar Council reads that we came to know that many of the Hotels and Marriage Hall staff are wearing the uniform of lawyers. I want to clear this through this letter that you are not eligible of wearing a proper uniform of Lawyers until and unless you have passed the entry test and are done with your six-month training. It further strictly informed that other than the Lawyers, no one is allowed to wear the uniform. If any staff member of a marriage hall, hotel, and any event hall is observed in this uniform, I have clear directions to proceed under the relevant provision of law.
