casestatus.in Summary

Summary The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petition filed by Melvazi Murugamalai A. Educational Trust against the Bar Council of India as withdrawn. The petitioner sought to amend the petition to substitute the University of Madras with Dr. Ambedkar Law University (newly established under the Dr. Ambedkar Law University Act, 1996), but the Court declined to permit the amendment, finding no justification for protracted litigation. The petitioner accordingly withdrew the petition, which was dismissed as withdrawn on September 3, 2002. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
