Divvela Ramaiah & Anr. v. Union of India & Anr. (Institute of Actuaries of India — CoP for Associates)
Court's Decision & Legal Precedent
DATE VERIFIED Oral Judgement 2024-08-06 (order-13.pdf). Court construed s.2(i) 'member' and s.2(l) 'register' with ss.6–7–9: membership/register entry does not equal entitlement to practise; practise turns on CoP under s.9 after Council norms. Definitional 'member' cannot be read to force CoP for all Associates contrary to Reg.10.
On this section: s.9 — CoP is a Council-gated permission to practise; Associates are not entitled to CoP merely by membership; Reg.10 Fellow-only CoP upheld.
The holding above is the ratio decidendi as extracted from the judgment by eCourts India, reproduced unaltered — it is a rendering of the court's reasoning, not a substitute for its words. Read the order itself before relying on it.
