Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, under Section 38 of the Advocates Act, 1981, allowed the appeal of the appellant advocate against the Bar Council of India's order suspending him for two years under Section 35(3)(c) and Section 35(B). The Court found that the Bar Council's determination of misconduct was not substantiated, thereby setting aside the suspension and dismissing the related Special Leave Petition. The judgment emphasizes the need for clear evidence of misconduct before imposing disciplinary actions on advocates.
