Advocate Sana Raees Khan Lands In Trouble For Bigg Boss Participation

In the ongoing season of Bigg Boss, there is a diverse mix of contestants from various sectors of the entertainment industry. One of the participants, Sana Raees Khan, is a criminal lawyer who gained recognition as the legal representative for Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan Khan, during the Mumbai Cruise Drugs Case in 2021. However, her decision to join the reality show has sparked controversy.

Ashutosh Dubey, a prominent lawyer at the Bombay High Court, has raised objections to Sana Raees Khan's participation in Bigg Boss 17. He believes that her involvement in the show violates the regulations established by the Bar Council. In response to this, he has formally lodged a complaint with the Bar Council of India.

Dubey has emphasised that according to rules 47 to 52 of the Bar Council of India Rules, advocates are prohibited from pursuing other forms of employment to earn income. Additionally, Section 49(1)(c) of the Advocates Act, 1961, restricts practising advocates from engaging in full-time employment in other fields.
