Here, the allegation that the advocate filed a miscellaneous application without instructions was not established, as the documentary material supported his account and the alleged tape recording was not produced. The Court also found no proved conflict of interest from the advocate's engagement in a related suit for the opposite party, though it noted that disclosure of that other engagement should ideally have been made to the client. On that evidence, misconduct was not proved and the appeal failed. en-us Thu, 20 Jul 2000 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 08:22:27 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=287614 A charge of professional misconduct against an advocate is quasi-criminal and must be proved beyond reasonable doubt.
