Explanation

The correct option is D: S.24A.

Section 24A of the Advocates Act, 1961 deals with disqualification for enrolment as an advocate on a State roll. According to this section, no person shall be admitted as an advocate if he or she is convicted of an offence involving moral turpitude or an offence under the Untouchability (Offences) Act, 1955.

Moral turpitude means conduct that is dishonest, immoral, or unethical. Untouchability (Offences) Act, 1955 is a law that prohibits discrimination and atrocities against people belonging to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in India. These are the grounds for disqualification for enrolment as an advocate under Section 24A of the Advocates Act, 1961.
