§ 1. Mr. Dayasked the Under-Secretary of State for India the number of vakils who are at present serving in India as High Court judges?
§ The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Earl Winterton)I regret that I am unable to give the number of High Court judges who were vakils at the time of appointment, but the number of judges of the Chartered High Courts who, prior to their appointment, were not banisters or members of the Indian Civil Service, is 24.
§ Earl WintertonThe hon. Member will have to put a question down if he wants to know what their duties are. He asked me only the actual numbers.
§ Mr. LeonardWhat is a vakil?
§ Earl WintertonHe is a form of advocate who is not necessarily an advocate.
