“If he is usually abused and thinks about the appeal – why doesn`t the lawyers` council abandon that on (the lawyer`s stickers)?” the court commented orally. In any event, the court found that this was not surprising given the bars of the legal advisers and the police. The panel added: “Another problem is that there is no uniform law in this regard. While many states prohibit the use of such stickers, others do not. The problem can also be understood as meaning that the ban has been poorly implemented. Justices N Kurubakaran and B Pugalendhi have today claimed the legitimacy of these stickers (Ramesh v. The Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Ambedkar Law University).

A lawyer`s sticker is a logo that represents the legal profession, which usually comes in the form of a sticker that is usually printed and glued to the vehicle. Often, police officers do not stop vehicles with Advocate stickers, which allows people to exploit them and often abuse them. Few people, apart from lawyers and law students, know that the Bar Council of India issues stickers to lawyers for a specific purpose. One of the main reasons is that parking spaces are scarce in courts, lawyer stickers on vehicles help the lawyer or judge to get a permanent parking space. It facilitates the work of the authorities to identify a lawyer or judge, as other vehicles are rarely allowed in court. If someone doesn`t have the sticker on the vehicle, they will have to show their license/ID card every time they get in and out, which can sometimes be inconvenient. [1] One solution may be to register these stickers with a competent authority when they are issued. There should be a legitimate power to issue stickers to doctors, lawyers and police officers so that no one else has access to them. He added that although there are some protests being organized against the misuse of stickers that are also found stuck to trucks and ambulances, the police have not acted.
We have seen millions of people who belong to the profession of doctors, police officers or lawyers around us and who have used stickers on their vehicles.

However, it should be noted that the rule prohibits the use of stickers on the license plate, and not on any other part of the vehicle. The misuse of stickers refers to the use of the privilege of these stickers to gain an illegal advantage or to perform illegal acts. To get away with breaking the rules or not to be checked, thousands of people attach these stickers to their vehicles.
This requires administrative control and a rigorous approach to the use of avocado stickers. The changes in terms of punishment and fine can be more severe, as the currently punished fine is very small compared to the illegal use of stickers. It is clear from the above-mentioned case-law that the use of stickers is justified, but their misuse cannot be ignored. Police officers must be strict in the performance of their duties, if a law is broken, the police must take measures similar to those of a normal citizen.

It is often found that lawyer stickers are affixed to vehicles that are not owned by practising lawyers, which means that people from non-legal professions are also using these stickers illegally. The law has long been considered a noble profession, and lawyers have preserved the dignity of this profession. However, the misuse of the Advocate sticker for unjustified benefits is now tarnishing its image.
