Case History
Summary: The Supreme Court set aside all prior orders in this advocates' disciplinary matter due to a fundamental procedural defect: the Andhra Pradesh Bar Council's Disciplinary Committee order of 30.6.2000 was signed only by the Chairman and one Member, violating Section 9 of the Advocates Act, 1961. Consequently, the Court quashed the 8.7.2000 suspension order and the Bar Council of India's 15.10.2000 order that had upheld it. The case was remitted to the Andhra Pradesh Bar Council's Disciplinary Committee with directions to constitute a properly constituted committee and rehear the matter from 26.6.2000 onwards. Each party bears its own costs. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
