The State Cabinet on Monday approved a proposal for an amendment to the Odisha Advocates' Welfare Fund Act, 1987.
The families of the members of the Advocates' Welfare Fund would receive more benefit on account of their death. The members on their retirement or on voluntary cessation of practice on the ground of permanent physical or mental disability would also get more benefit. The State Government would be empowered to amend the Schedule to the Odisha Advocates' Welfare Fund Act, 1987 on the recommendation of the Committee of the Trust taking into account the amount available in the fund.
