No. I am no longer a laweyr for past 5 years, I am in employment.

Definitely, you are correct.
Question is, is such an explicit permission necessary?
If I call myself "Mahesh", do I need to grant an explicit license to
enable you to address me as "Mahesh" in a public forum?
If "Mahesh" was substituted with a symbol, would it make any
differentce? There is no need, IMHO.
Philippe was suggesting otherwise, in spite of Govt. of India's
proposal.
