@Querist,
An adocate, if engaged, in other Business which is not considered immoral and gross misconduct,cannot be brought under any criminal proceedings. However, displinary action can be taken that includes an order to surrender his/her membership to the bar.
A case law regarding the conflict of being a full time employee and practising advocacy at the same time is given below.
SATISH KUMAR SHARMA
Vs.
RESPONDENT:
THE BAR COUNCIL OF HIMACHAL PRADESH
The link is given below for the details of the case. you can find it on superemecourt official site too.
