The Supreme Court upheld the removal of the appellant's name from the State Roll of Advocates under Section 35(3)(d) of The Advocates Act, 1961, confirming the findings of professional misconduct by the Disciplinary Committee. The Court found that the appellant continued to engage in business activities after his enrolment as an Advocate, which constituted a violation of professional ethics. The punishment was deemed appropriate given the circumstances, and the appeal was dismissed.
