Delhi considering increasing contribution to bar council fund

The Delhi government might increase its contribution to the Bar Council of Delhi's corpus fund for welfare measures, Chief Minister Sheia Dikshit said Saturday.

The government had provided Rs.1 crore for the constitution of the corpus fund.

"Since it was long time ago, I am sure that the time has come to take a review and increase the amount," Dikshit said at the national seminar on welfare of lawyers organised by the Bar Council.

The seminar was inaugurated by President Pranab Mukherjee.
