Yes, any lawyer who is enrolled with a State Bar Council and has cleared the AIBE (All India Bar Examination) can practice in the Supreme Court. They can appear and argue cases, but there is one important rule: only an AOR (Advocate on Record) can file a case in the Supreme Court. Other lawyers can argue the case, but filing must be done through an AOR.
To become an AOR, a lawyer needs a few years of experience, special training under an AOR, and must pass the Supreme Court’s AOR exam.
So in simple words:
Any advocate can appear and argue before the Supreme Court.
Only an AOR can officially file cases there.
This system helps ensure that all documents and procedures in the Supreme Court are handled correctly by trained advocates.
