London : Indian government will soon take a decision on opening up the legal service after consulting the Bar Council which has some reservations on the issue, Law Minister M Veerappa Moily has said.
“On opening up of the legal service sector, the Bar Council has some reservations and we are in dialogue with them. Hopefully some decision will come soon,” Moily told newsmen at the India House here last evening.
About the government’s decision to withdraw the case against Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi in the Bofors deal, he said “we wanted to be very transparent on the issue.”
“The decision to withdraw the case was taken after due deliberations and after obtaining legal opinion and keeping in mind the ruling of the Delhi High court in February 2004 that there is no case under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
