Further, it directed the bar council to provide the Court with rules with reference to the smooth conduct of the ceremony and ensure strict compliance with the rules, and further directed it to submit a report for the same.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">It also directed for issuance of notice to secretaries of the Madras Bar Association, Madras High Court Advocates&#8217; Association, Law Association, and Women Lawyers&#8217; Association office bearers for making an appearance on the next hearing date.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The matter will next be taken up on 01-11-2022<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Tamil Nadu Pondy Plastic Association v.
