Case Summary: C.A. No. 003050/2000 — Pravin C. Shah v. K.A. Mohd. Ali The Supreme Court held that an advocate convicted of criminal contempt of court is automatically barred from appearing in court under Rule 11 of the Kerala High Court Rules until purging the contempt. The Court rejected the Bar Council of India's order setting aside the State Bar Council's interdict, finding that purging contempt requires genuine remorse, sincere apology to the court, and the court's acceptance of such apology—not merely payment of fines or mechanical apology. The respondent-advocate, convicted twice for contempt, remained barred from practice until satisfying this purging process. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
