The official notification reads, ”This is to notify that All India Bar Examination-XVI (AIBE-XVI) onward, no books, notes, or study material will be allowed in the examination hall. Candidates can carry bare acts without notes.”
Bare acts are the exact text of a particular enactment by the legislature, without interpretation.
“It may be noted that the bar council of India had decided to hold the All India Bar Examination-XVI (AIBE-XVI) on March 21, 2021. AIBE-XV was held on January 24, 2021.”
