The gen secy of the State branch SC Keyal opined that the proposed amendments tend to lower the stature of the legal profession. �They seek to reconstitute the respective State Bar Councils in a way that majority in our representatives will be nominees of HCs, which will undermine the autonomy of the Bar Council and dilute the independence of the legal profession,� the statement said.
