Goverdhan Pujari vs Jugal Kishore Sahu

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of complaints by the Disciplinary Committee of the Orissa State Bar Council was invalid as one of its members, Shri R.K. Mohanty, had ceased to be a member prior to the decision. The Court emphasized that decisions made by improperly constituted committees are liable to be set aside. Consequently, the appeals were allowed, and the State Bar Council was directed to reconsider the complaints with a properly constituted committee.
