Case Summary: Gopalrao v. Bar Council of Maharashtra & Goa Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed Gopalrao's special leave petition on 28/01/2002. The Court noted that since proceedings had transferred to the Bar Council of India, most grievances against the State Bar Council were moot. However, the Court declined to entertain the petition solely for waiving Rs. 6,000/- in adjournment costs imposed by BCI on 02/12/2000. Direction: The Court directed the Bar Council of India to sympathetically consider the petitioner's pending application for cost waiver and other prayers already filed before it, expressing confidence that BCI would reasonably address these matters.
