The Supreme Court, under Section 38 of The Advocates Act, 1961, upheld the removal of the appellant's name from the State Roll of Advocates as per Section 35(3)(d) due to professional misconduct. The Court found that the appellant continued 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.
