Introduction
Every lawyer walks through a world shaped by rules, trust, and steady support from the legal family. A strong legal system grows only when the people who lead it follow clear steps and fair actions. This is why a Bar Council Election holds deep value, as it helps decide who will shape important paths for lawyers across each state.
Young lawyers often seek direction from senior minds, and leaders like Advocate Dr Vishnu Sharma remind them that a fair and open vote protects the dignity of the profession. When the election stays clean and honest, lawyers gain confidence that those who speak for them act with care and truth.
