Constitutional Foundation & Legal Standing
Governed under the Advocates Act, 1961 (Act No. 25 of 1961)
The District Bar Association, Khammam constitutes the recognized collective body of legal practitioners practicing before the courts of the Principal District and Sessions Judge, Additional District Courts, Senior Civil Courts, Junior Civil Courts, Judicial Magistrate of First Class Courts, and specialized tribunals across the Khammam Judicial District.
The Bar Association derives its professional ethos from the unified legal framework established by the Advocates Act, 1961, which abolished the colonial divisions of pleaders and mukhtars to establish a single roll of advocates. Under Section 30 of the Advocates Act, enrolled advocates possess the statutory right to practice law before any court, tribunal, or authority legally authorized to take evidence throughout the territory of India.
Operating in institutional harmony with the Bar Council of the State of Telangana and the supervisory guidelines of the High Court for the State of Telangana, the District Bar Association serves as an indispensable bridge between the judicial administration and the legal fraternity.
Guarantees that advocates can discharge their duties without fear, intimidation, or executive interference, safeguarding the constitutional separation of powers.
Maintains verified membership rosters in accordance with the Bar Council of Telangana rules and verified Certificate of Practice (COP) validations.
Co-administers statutory welfare stamp compliance under the Telangana Advocates Welfare Fund Act, extending medical and bereavement security to advocates.
