One-liner: The Supreme Court has slammed the Uttar Pradesh Bar Council over non appearance in a matter of fake claim petitions involving advocates and said it is the duty of the Bar Council of India to maintain the dignity of the legal profession.
What the bench says: A bench noted that despite their strong observations against the Bar Council of UP on Oct 5, nobody appeared on behalf of the bar body.
Very unfortunate: It is very unfortunate that despite the fact that the FIRs have been filed as far as back in the year 2016-2017, still the investigation is reported to be pending. Even in the cases where charge sheets have been filed, no charge has been framed by the courts, the apex court noted.
