Bar Council cracks whip on unruly lawyers

New Delhi: The Bar Council of India has decided to crack the whip on the group of unruly lawyers who indulged in violence at the Patiala House Court complex here, saying the licences of those found guilty will be suspended for life.


Apologising for the violence in the court premises yesterday which had occurred for a second time in a row, BCI Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra said names of the bar members, if found guilty of indulging in this violence, will be removed from the roll.


 “The action includes suspension of their licence for their entire life. Therefore, we can remove name of any of the advocates from the roll of Bar Council for whole life,” Mishra said.


The apex law body has set up a three-member committee, headed by a former HC judge, to probe the incident.
