The Supreme Court partially annulled a Bar Council resolution amending the Bar Admission Regulations. The Minister of Justice argued that adding new text to specific sections fundamentally changed the rules, while the Council claimed only supplementary additions were made. The Court ruled that functionally linking new provisions to existing, previously unchallengeable text constitutes a substantive change allowing for total invalidation.
