VIKRAM VERMA vs TEJ PRAKASH KOHLI . — C.A. No. 8964/2003

Case Summary: Vikram Verma v. Tej Prakash Kohli (CA 8964/2003) Vikram Verma filed a disciplinary complaint against advocate Tej Prakash Kohli alleging he concealed prior criminal convictions (under IPC sections 147/148/149, 323, 325) when applying for enrollment and was conducting business from his office. The Bar Council's Disciplinary Committee found: (1) Kohli's convictions did not involve moral turpitude; (2) he received probation under the Probation of Offenders Act, 1958; and (3) no evidence proved he conducted business after enrollment. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal on January 11, 2012, holding Section 24A of the Advocates Act was not attracted since the convictions lacked moral turpitude and statutory protections applied to probation cases.
