Case Facts:
The State Bar Council, referred to as the local Appellant, has lodged a
complaint with the Bar Council of India, which is one of the respondents. The
roots of this complaint can be traced back to the time when the staff meeting
was evacuated by potential defendants to enter the Magistrate's Court, to seize
their files, which often led to a physical dispute, and to plead guilty.
This
misconduct has shocked the public that the Maharashtra High Court has filed a
complaint with the Bar Council of Maharashtra. The disciplinary committee of the
Maharashtra Legal Council, as provided under Section 35 (1) of the Advocates
Act, 1961, recommended that the case be dismissed. By examining the matter, and
because of its multiplicity, all 8 cases files were tried simultaneously as a
unified process and were rejected by the same decision by the Disciplinary
Committee of the Legislative Council of India.
One such respondent, A. K. Doshi argued that:
the decision of the Legislature
did not mean that we had reason to believe that the lawyers involved were guilty
of misconduct in the workplace.
The Court argued that:
the need for a 'reason
for believing' could not be construed as a legal necessity, as it is a barrier
to dealing with trivial questions. It is clear from the decision of the
Legislative Council, in which he said that he had considered the complaint and
decided to refer the matter to the disciplinary committee, that he had reason to
believe, as prescribed by law.
The Disciplinary Committee of the State
Legislature considered the nature of the acts as misconduct in the workplace,
suspending the students for three years. An application was lodged with the
appellate court, the Bar Council of India, which, in terms of Section 37 (1),
referred the matter to the Disciplinary Committee for further investigation. The
Bar Council of India amended the order passed by the State Bar Council on the
grounds that the alleged acts "do not cross the line of misconduct in the
workplace". This decision was based on a three-point formula that attorneys must
have:
- the application function;
- to another person and (iii) in respect of a case.
It would not be an understatement to think that all three of these things would
be enough to justify one's actions or behavior. Released by a decision of the
Bar Council of India, the State Bar Council went to the Supreme Court to make
amends for the loss, under the conditions set out under Section 38 of the
Advocates Act, 1961. This is why the current appeal took place.
Main Issues raised
- Whether the prosecuted practitioners are guilty of professional
misconduct?
- Whether the State Bar Council is considered an aggrieved party since it
has suffered any legal grieving and since the Bar Council of India has not
deprived the State Bar Council of anything?
Analysis:
Before I begin with the analysis of the case, it will be appropriate to quote a
paragraph from Clause-25 of the Contract, which reads as follows:
There is a decision by the Judiciary to consider the appeal and then decided to
refer to the disciplinary committee, that it had reason to believe that, as
determined by the proclamation, such a tribunal, which has so far been
concerned, is fully compliant with the defendant in a joint case against the
common disciplinary proceedings. [1]
A strategy that is confusing and discriminatory as we will explain later in the
course of this judgment. Respondents within the various applications before us
were found guilty of ‘misconduct in the eyes of the public eye’ and that they
were suspended from serving as Attorneys for a period of three years. Appeals
were referred to the Legislative Council of India and in accordance with the
law, said the Disciplinary Committee appointed by it under Section 37 (2) of the
Act.[2]
The Disciplinary Committee heard appeals from applicants for exempt from
misconduct in the workplace. Disappointed by the decision to amend, the Maharashtra Legal Council appealed to the current Court. The first barrier to
locus standi has been reduced as mentioned earlier, subject to controversy over
the suitability of
Shri V. S. Desai on behalf of the applicant.
He chose the
accuracy of the findings of the case in each case despite having varying degrees
of diversity, but changed his criminal view with the alarming sense of
professional misconduct adopted by the Disciplinary Tribunal to continue to
present each complaint separately so far because the true cost basis is
concerned but only discuss legal issues later. They became respondents but Bar
in India and therefore the community within the country.
The deep remorse of
such cases is not only in the rebellious view of the disciplinary court of the
professional ethics law that attempted to solicit snatches and arrest clients
has no time to behave, or to violate appropriate provisions, but also on the
innocence of the proper and speedy procedure shown by the State Disciplinary
Tribunal cases of 16 attorneys in one case, mixing evidence against many,
recording evidence of an omnibus declaration, not keeping a record of daily
procedures, examining witnesses internally in the absence of other respondents,
it takes eight years to complete an effort involving 4 witnesses and a crown,
the omission of the consideration of evidence against each individual criminal
offender in the sentencing process.
Of course, a court of law may regulate its
proceedings without much difficulty, depending on the 'principles of natural
justice,[3]' but the widespread disregard for the known justice system makes us
consider whether respondents are not disabled and whether justice would be
dangerous if the court was not informed of its travel activities.
Respondents appealed the Court's decision in the case of
Adi Pheroz Shah
Gandhi[4] AIR 1971 SC 385 that the Bar Council of the State is not an aggressive
person to pursue an appeal against the decision of its disciplinary committee on
these grounds.
They said that first of all, the Bar Council of a State is not a
victim because the Bar Council has never dealt with legal complaints, and the
decision of the Bar Council of India has nothing to do with the Bar Council of
State.
Second, the allegations that the order of the disciplinary committee of
the Indian Legislative Council was improperly filed are not appealing to the
Legislative Council. One should be offended by the order and not by the
consequences.
Thirdly, it is not the job of the State Legal Council to try to
rectify any alleged wrongdoing of the disciplinary committee of the Indian Legal
Council. The reason is that no such work is prescribed or regulated by law in
the State Legislature.
Fourth, a person can be said to be upset about an order
that could harm him, that is, to make money or something else or that causes him
to be prejudiced in some way or another.
Fifth, the Bar Council of a State is
subject to the Legislative Council of India and, therefore, cannot lodge an
appeal against any order of the higher body. Finally, an appeal may have been
lodged by the Attorney-General or the Attorney-General of India who is entitled
to appeal but have chosen not to do so.
They went on to say "we have written recommendations for the State Court and for
appeals in the further stages of this judgment[5]. However, we find it easy to
lose complaints in evidence, in the belief that if, in fact, there is a snatch
and a fight and as an exercise persuaded by any of the respondents, that
behaviour is a serious violation of professional performance and calls for
punishment. Criminal convictions are appealing and started with Dabholkar who
came out of nowhere to defend himself. In addition, one of the witnesses who
testified against him swears:
‘I have never seen him snatch the papers. I did
not hear Mr Dabholkar's speech with the people '.
In addition, he was a senior
lawyer. We also record the very fact that you have expressed concern because the
arguments have continued. Aside from the weak and compelling evidence against
him, there is a case that he is 68 years old. With a true hoop, he revealed that
he was too old to continue doing his job in this profession and decided to
retire into a defeated valley of life.
He openly admitted that however the
evidence was that, if there had been past sins, he would not have followed in
the footsteps of misconduct at work, after this he had decided to leave the Bar
without a Limited Purpose. He had only four cases left to decide. He also stated
that he failed to highlight any new documents or appear in any Court other than
the lesser degree Bombay Paints & Allied Products.
Conclusion:
The term
victim has a broad meaning and may not be construed as limited
translation. They don’t include, of course, a busy person who interrupts things
that don’t affect him; but they do include a person who is lodging a real
complaint because an order has been improperly applied to his or her intentions.
Does the Attorney-General have sufficient interest in this purpose?
Their
kingship thinks they have it; the Attorney General in the extreme colony
represents the crown on behalf of the general public interest. It is his duty to
bring before the judge any misconduct of the attorney or attorney who has a
dragging force for disciplinary action. The Bar is not a private organization,
such as that of ‘barber, butcher and candle makers’ but, by comparison, a public
institution committed to social justice and unpaid public service.
The granting of a private license to practice law is based on three assumptions:
- There is a public service to be performed by an attorney.
- An attorney may be an expert in the profession and
- His or her professional experience is controlled by him or her and
legally, by the employee in full.
The medium function to be performed in the bar is nothing but the management of.
To oversee the activities of the Legislative Council, and it will be seen that
the rainbow of civil society organizations, including legal aid to the poor,
seeks these bodies in the national hope that the members of this state will
serve the public and maintain good ethical standards.
Because, in the end, can't we all be alone at the same time in the 'internal
bencher and bar republic'?
The favorite rebels are lawyers working in criminal
courts in Bombay City. Their work sets high moral standards for the highest
value within the means as at the end. Justice cannot be achieved without
broadcasting being a pellucid throughout its course of great concern to the
public, not just professional care. In short, these workers, according to the
evidence; Recorded by the State Disciplinary Tribunal, they stopped at the
entrance of the Magistrate's Courts, awaiting the arrival of the plaintiffs.
