Whether 'AOR', For Purpose Of 2013 SC Rules, Includes Sole Proprietary Firm?: SC To Consider

"Whether an AOR can have his entry in the AOR register in the form of his style of carrying on his profession: Instead of just "Name" as "Name", Sole Proprietor, Law Chambers of "Name"?", asked the Supreme Court on Monday.
"Suppose Mr. Murarka files as himself, as the sole proprietor of an *entity? Is that a problem/", asked Justice Kaul.
"He can describe himself as the firm, but the filing can only be in the name of Mr. Murarka", replied Mr. Jhadhav.
"I would prefer 'Law Chambers of Siddharth *Murarka' followed by 'Sole Proprietorship' in brackets", replied Mr. *Murarka.
"If you are an AOR and you want to run your own firm, then do whatever you want. But filing can only be through an AOR or a partnership of AORs", asserted the Amicus.
The Court adjourned the matter to a later, seeking notes in this behalf from the representatives of the SCBA, SCAORA and the petitioner.
