KRISHNA KUMAR MITTAL vs PARMESHWAR DAYAL GUPTA — C.A. No. 7174/2000

Summary: In this disciplinary appeal, Krishna Kumar Mittal challenged a Bar Council decision regarding advocate Parmeshwar Dayal Gupta, who had previously represented Mittal in litigation over a property dispute. Years later, Gupta appeared as counsel for the opposing party in a subsequent case involving the same property. Mittal complained to the Bar Council alleging professional misconduct through changing sides. The Bar Council found no misconduct, noting Gupta withdrew after Mittal objected and over ten years had elapsed between the matters. The Supreme Court upheld the Bar Council's decision and dismissed the appeal, finding no grounds for disciplinary action.
