COMPUTER, FAX, TELEPHONE AND INTERNET
Wireless access is also now available, free of charge, in the Associaton premises. The Association computer is not available for use by members.
The fax machine is available for members use, on payment of charges. Long-distance outgoing faxes are not permitted.
Pay phones (recently upgraded) are available in the Association premises. Personal mobile phones may be used but, especially in the corridors around Court Room 40 on the lower floor, must in the silent mode and must be answered elsewhere. The Judges have often complained about this.
TRANSLATION, TRANSCRIPTION, MAIL DELIVERY AND CONTACT INFORMATION
The Association does not offer translation or transcription services. It does not accept mail for forward delivery (except from the disciplinary committees of the State or All India Bar Council).
Members’ contact information, other than the office telephone and fax numbers listed with us, is not released by the Association.
Members are not permitted to use the Association as their office and may not use the Association address for official correspondence at any time.
CLIENT CONFERENCES AND COMMON ROOM
Client conferences may be held only at the conference tables in the outer corridors of the Association. No conferences are permitted in the Common Room/lounge at any time—though the Honorary Secretary is reliably lax on this and permits conferences in the Common Room if there is no space available in the corridors or if there is some other compelling reason (cricket matches are a compelling reason).
All conferences, however, must cease between 2:00 and 2:45 pm, during the lunch recess.
Members should try and limit their use of the conference tables to minimize inconvenience to others.
VICTUALLING
The Association runs a basic food counter that serves hot and cold food, beverages, tea and coffee. Bottled water is served like a classic cabernet sauvignon: at room temperature, even in summer.
RESTROOMS
Unfortunately, for men only. We’ve recently had the restroom refurbished as best we can but were unable to provide facilities for ladies for want of space. At least one local wag insists that the Association is fundamentally a preserve of the male of the species, a charge hotly denied by just about everyone else.
