N.V. RAMAKRISHNA vs SYNDICATE BANK, ALWAL BRANCH, A.P. — C.A. No. 5284/2005

Summary: C.A. No. 005284/2005 (N.V. Ramakrishna v. Syndicate Bank) The Supreme Court heard appellant advocate N.V. Ramakrishna's appeal against a Bar Council of India disciplinary order suspending him for one year and imposing a Rs. 5,000 fine for professional misconduct related to unfi­led recovery cases (1994-1997). The Court upheld the misconduct finding, rejecting the appellant's defense that cases were returned by courts for incomplete particulars, as this does not comply with CPC provisions. However, given the appellant had already served six months suspension and paid the fine, the Court allowed the appeal in part and reduced the punishment to the period already undergone, with no order as to costs. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
