Case Summary: C.A. No. 5217/1998 Suresh S. Hattiangadi v. N.D. Upadhyay (Dead) Through Secretary, Bar Council of Maharashtra On 18 July 2001, the Supreme Court partly allowed the appeal and set aside a two-year suspension of the appellant's law licence imposed by the Bar Council of India's Disciplinary Committee (27 June 1998) for professional misconduct. The Court found the appellant failed to notify the Bar Council of his address change and full-time employment with Vulcan Leval Ltd., violating Rule 49. However, since no evidence showed he practiced law during employment, the suspension was deemed disproportionately harsh. The Court reprimanded him instead under Section 35(3)(b) of the Advocates Act, 1961. No costs awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
