Wearing
A
Lawyer's
Attire
Requires
Authorisation
From
The
Bar
Council
As
per
the
legal
terms,
wearing
a
lawyer's
attire
for
commercials
needs
permission
from
the
Bar
Council
and
the
commercial
is
liable
for
legal
action
if
the
makers
fail
to
do
so.
Without
proper
authorisation,
one
simply
cannot
don
the
lawyer's
attire
and
make
a
commercial
out
of
it.

Legal

The
legal
notice
has
also
been
sent
to
the
media
house
which
was
assigned
for
the
commercial
and
even
YouTube
is
slapped
with
the
notice
for
allowing
the
video
commercial
to
be
published
on
their
platform.
The
Bar
Council
also
sent
the
notice
to
the
brand
for
failing
to
take
the
necessary
steps.
This
Is
Not
The
First
Time!
Just
a
few
months
ago,
Amitabh
Bachchan
faced
heat
for
a
jewellery
commercial
featuring
him
and
his
daughter
Shweta
Bachchan.
It
had
to
be
withdrawn
after
legal
action
was
threatened
against
it
for
deliberately
showing
bank
employees
in
a
negative
light.
