BHATARAJU NAGESHW ARA RAO vs THE HON'BLE JUDGES OF THE MADRASHIGH COURT AND OTHERS.

The Supreme Court ruled that in an appeal against an order of suspension of an advocate by the High Court under Section 12 of the Indian Bar Councils Act, 1926, it is inappropriate to implead the Judges of the High Court as respondents. The proper respondents should include the complainant, the Bar Council, or its Secretary, and the Advocate-General of the State. The Court emphasized the procedural correctness in such appeals, thereby clarifying the appropriate parties to be involved.
