121“(d) after obtaining a degree in law recognized under clause (i)of sub-section (1) of section 7, he has undergone a course oftraining by way of attachment to a legal practitioner of morethan ten years’ standing, for such duration not less than oneyear and has qualified at the Bar Examination in such manneras may be prescribed by the Bar Council of India”.(C)Insertion of clauses (ai) in section 49 as follows:“(ai) the period of training and conduct of Bar examinationand matters relating thereto under clause (ha) of sub-section(1) of section 7 and clause (d) of sub-section (1) of section 24;
