Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Disciplinary Committee of the Bar Council of India acted unjustly by imposing a censure and costs on the appellant without any evidence supporting the allegations against him. The Court emphasized that findings based on suspicion and conjecture are not sufficient for disciplinary action. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeal and set aside the impugned order, reinstating the appellant's standing without costs.
