https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=374571 Section 34(1) of the Advocates Act, 1961 permits a High Court to regulate the conditions of practice and appearance before it, but not to exercise disciplinary control over advocates for professional misconduct. The Supreme Court distinguished court-side regulation of conduct and orderly functioning from punitive measures such as suspension, debarment, or removal from practice, which remain within the statutory disciplinary framework of the Bar Councils, the Bar Council of India, and appellate control under the Act. Amended Rules 14-A to 14-D of the Madras High Court Rules, by creating a disciplinary process leading to debarment for misconduct, were held to intrude into that exclusive field and were quashed as ultra vires. en-us Mon, 28 Jan 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 05 Feb 2019 06:58:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=374571 Section 34(1) of the Advocates Act, 1961 permits a High Court to regulate the conditions of practice and appearance before it, but not to exercise disciplinary control over advocates for professional misconduct.
