Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the respondent to withdraw the appellant's enrolment as an advocate, citing procedural non-compliance with the Bar Council Rules. The Court emphasized that the appellant's designation and appointment as Law Officer were not in accordance with the requisite legal standards, thus validating the withdrawal under the relevant rules. The Court affirmed the High Court's ruling, concluding that the appellant's enrolment was rightly revoked due to failure to meet the necessary qualifications.
