Bar Council of India removes 107 fake advocates in Delhi to uphold legal integrity
New Delhi: The Bar Council of India (BCI) has removed 107 fake advocates from Delhi’s Roll of Advocates, part of a broader effort to eliminate individuals practicing law with fraudulent credentials. This initiative aligns with Rule 32 of the BCI Certificate and Place of Practice (Verification) Rules, 2015, which was strengthened through a 2023 amendment, making it easier to identify and remove ineligible practitioners.
From 2019 to June 2023, the BCI undertook extensive investigations, resulting in the removal of several thousand advocates across India due to issues such as forged certificates and failure to meet verification standards. The recent 107 removals include 50 after the amended Rule 32 came into effect, while other cases involved advocates not meeting the Council’s updated verification and engagement criteria.
The BCI has also cautioned State Bar Councils regarding preemptive certificate surrenders by advocates who may be aware of their non-compliant status. To ensure accountability, the BCI emphasised that State Bar Councils conduct full investigations into surrender requests, verifying authenticity before finalising such cases to prevent further harm to the public and the justice system.

Pizza Hut China debuts unusual bullfrog pizza, sparking mixed reactions online
Beijing : Pizza Hut China has taken a bold step into culinary experimentation by introducing a limited-edition pizza topped with deep-fried bullfrog, a move that has garnered both curiosity and criticism online. The unconventional dish was first highlighted by global food trend expert David Henke, who shared a photo of the new menu item on X (formerly Twitter), noting the diverse protein preferences in different cultures.
The pizza, known as "Goblin Pizza," features a thick crust, red sauce, a layer of parsley, and a whole deep-fried bullfrog as the centerpiece. The frog's "eyes" are created with halved hard-boiled eggs, each topped with a black olive, making for a visually striking presentation. According to Korean news outlet Maeil Business Newspaper, the unusual offering is a collaboration with Dungeons and Dragons, inspired by a character from the game.
Details about the availability of this new creation are limited, with no specific information provided on Pizza Hut’s official website. However, the quirky menu item has already become a talking point on social media, drawing a mix of reactions ranging from shock to curiosity.
On Reddit, a photo of the pizza was shared, fueling further debate. Some users labeled the dish as “pure blasphemy,” while one user went so far as to say, “This pizza is a felony.” Another asked, “Why ruin a pizza like that?”
Not all feedback was negative; one commenter admitted that while the frog might be off-putting, they'd be more accepting if the pizza underneath was satisfactory. Another joked, "You can ribbet this right into the garbage."
Amidst the critique, there were voices of intrigue. One foodie defended the dish, saying, “Fried frog legs are so good! Maybe next time, shred the frog leg meat and add it to the pizza—that would be pretty good.”
