Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that under Section 38 of the Advocates Act, 1961, the Bar Council cannot review the decisions of its Disciplinary Committee. The Court clarified that the grounds for review need not align with those specified in Section 114 of the Code of Civil Procedure, and principles of autrefois convict or acquit are not applicable. The Court dismissed the appellant's review petition, affirming the Disciplinary Committee's findings of professional misconduct based on the evidence presented.
