DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE,BAR COUNCIL,INDIA

Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the Disciplinary Committee's decision to suspend the appellant's license was unjustified as it was based solely on suspicion and conjecture, without any supporting evidence from the complainant. The Court emphasized that disciplinary actions must be grounded in concrete evidence rather than mere assumptions. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the impugned order was set aside, reinstating the appellant's license without costs.
