INTRODUCTION

Advocacy is a noble profession and an advocate is the most accountable, privileged and erudite
person of the society and his act are role model for the society, which are necessary to be
regulated. Professional misconduct is the behavior outside the bounds of what is considered
acceptable or worthy of its membership by the governing body of a profession. Professional
misconduct refers to disgraceful or dishonorable conduct not befitting an advocate. Chapter V of
the Advocate Act, 1961, deals with the conduct of Advocates. It describes provisions relating to
punishment for professional and other misconducts. Section 35(1) of the Advocate Act, 1961,
says, where on receipt of a complaint or otherwise a State Bar Council has reason to believe that
any advocate on its roll has been guilty of professional or other misconduct, it shall refer the case
for disposal to it disciplinary committee. Section 35 empowers the disciplinary committee to
reprimand the advocate and suspend the advocate from practice for such period as it may
deem fit or remove the name of the advocate from the State roll of advocates. However,
an appeal against the order of the disciplinary committee may be preferred, to the Bar council
of India and thereafter to the Supreme Court against the order of the Bar Council of India.
