They also told the court that Bar Councils of several other states - like Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh -- started online enrollment of law graduates in August-September this year.
They also said that in a similar plea filed in August this year, the BCD had told the high court in September that certain steps were being taken to address the issue of online or electronic mode of enrollment.
However, till date no steps have been taken by BCD, they claimed and added that representations sent by them have also not elicited any response from the lawyers' body.
Apart from seeking online enrollment, the petitioners have also sought directions to BCD to exempt them from filing rent agreement or proof residence till normalcy is restored.
Their plea also seeks a declaration from the court that the requirement of rent agreement/ proof of residence as one of the conditions precedent for enrolment in BCD was "illegal and unconstitutional".
