Case History
The Supreme Court upheld the Disciplinary Committee's finding that advocate Harish Chandra Tiwari misappropriated Rs. 8,118 compensation belonging to his poor, illiterate client Baiju in a land acquisition case, withdrawing it in 1987 but never returning it. The Court enhanced the punishment from 3-year suspension to permanent removal from the advocates' roll, finding the misconduct particularly grave due to the prolonged misappropriation, Tiwari's fabrication of a forged settlement affidavit to deceive the Disciplinary Committee, and the need for strong deterrence in protecting clients' funds.
