The Bar Council of India (BCI) has issued a circular reaffirming that advocates must maintain professional ethics while using social media. The circular makes it clear that advocates cannot advertise or solicit clients directly or indirectly through digital platforms. Any form of self-promotion, paid endorsements, misleading legal advice, sensational content, or false claims is prohibited.

Advocates must also protect client confidentiality and avoid sharing information that could affect pending proceedings or the administration of justice.

At the same time, the BCI permits advocates to share legal knowledge and educational content, provided it is accurate, dignified, and not promotional.

The circular also cautions advocates to verify AI-generated legal content before publishing it. State Bar Councils have been directed to monitor compliance, and any violation of these ethical standards may attract disciplinary action.

Cause Title: AAA v. Linda Sema & Ors.

The Supreme Court has held that direct information received from a child victim about a POCSO offence amounts to "knowledge" under Section 19 of the POCSO Act. Such information must be reported immediately, without any personal verification.

The Court partly allowed the minor victim's mother's appeal and restored prosecution against the school headmistress under Section 21 of the POCSO Act and Section 176 IPC. However, it declined to interfere with the discharge of other school staff.

A Bench of Justices Manoj Misra and K.V. Viswanathan clarified that "knowledge" under Section 19 includes awareness based on direct information received from the child victim, making it mandatory for the recipient to promptly inform the police or the Special Juvenile Police Unit.
