The position at present is that persons appointed permanently to a High Court give an undertaking that they will not practice before any court within the jurisdiction of that High Court whereas persons employed as Acting or Additional Judges are not required to give any such undertaking. The view of the Home Ministry is that this limitation should not be extended in scope. From experience, it is in a position fully to endorse the views of the Chief Justices that to impose a ban on practice on Acting or Additional Judges would make recruitment from the bar exceedingly difficult.
