State Bar Councils are the statutory bodies to handle the complaints relating to the professional misconduct of the advocates.
More often than not, they do not act judicially and favour the advocates concerned. At times, they pass most irrational and unreasoned orders to protect the skin of the advocates.
As a matter of fact, they should act as watch dogs over the misconduct of the advocates but they hardly do it.
Recently, one compliant of mine was dismissed by the Bar council of Delhi on the ground that the complaint was directed against the professional misconduct of the advocate of the opposite party. Bar Council of Delhi erroneously felt that it can not entertain the complaints of the ones against the advocates of the opposite parties. Advocates Act, ofcourse, do not make any such provision.
Please suggest the suitable remedies.
