Naziz Afruz: Rising Lawyer from Assam Inducted into the Bar Council of Northeast India

In the dynamic and ever-evolving legal landscape of Northeast India, the emergence of dedicated and qualified professionals is critical to ensuring justice, integrity, and the upholding of constitutional rights. One such promising individual is Naziz Afruz, a young lawyer from Agamani, Dhubri district, Assam, who has recently marked a significant milestone in his career by being formally inducted into the Bar Council of Assam, Nagaland, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, and Sikkim. This prestigious recognition grants him the authority to practice law across these northeastern states and particularly at the Gauhati High Court, one of the most important judicial bodies in Eastern India.

Naziz Afruz’s journey reflects the growing aspiration among youth in semi-urban and rural regions of India to pursue careers in law and public service. His story is rooted in a strong academic foundation and a consistent commitment to excellence. Having completed his B.A. LLB (Hons) from the renowned NEF Law College, Guwahati – a top legal institution in Northeast India – Naziz built his legal knowledge under a curriculum approved by the Bar Council of India and affiliated with Gauhati University. His legal education was further supported by earlier studies at Anundoram Borooah Academy in Pathsala and Bholanath College in Dhubri, where he pursued his Higher Secondary education in the Science stream. This academic pathway highlights his intellectual versatility and adaptability – key traits for any legal professional.

While Naziz may be at the beginning of his professional career, his induction into the Bar Council is not just a procedural step; it is a testament to his hard work, moral character, and legal preparedness. The Bar Council of Assam, Nagaland, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, and Sikkim – constituted under the Advocates Act, 1961 – is responsible for regulating the legal profession in the region, overseeing the ethical conduct and educational standards of advocates. Being accepted as a member not only provides Naziz with the license to practice but also places upon him the responsibility to uphold the values and integrity of the legal community.

Currently based in Guwahati, the legal and administrative capital of Assam, Naziz is well-positioned to grow his legal practice and contribute meaningfully to the judicial system. His growing presence on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook, where he identifies himself as a digital creator and advocate, reflects a modern approach to lawyering – blending tradition with technology.

Though still early in his career, Naziz Afruz is steadily earning recognition and encouragement from peers, mentors, and well-wishers. His rise represents the aspirations of many young Indians from smaller towns who aim to bring about change through justice, advocacy, and informed legal service. As he steps into the courtrooms of Northeast India, he carries not just the weight of his own ambitions but also the hopes of a region looking toward a more just and legally empowered future.
