The Supreme Court upheld a 3-year suspension of advocate Manoj Kumar Sharma for making scandalous allegations against Priyanka Bansal. The Court also imposed Rs 1 lakh costs and ordered recovery through attachment of his properties.
The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna, denied an advocate’s plea to reduce a five-year suspension by the Bar Council of India for misconduct. The Court criticized the advocate for participating in Bar Association elections while suspended, asserting he showed no remorse and deserved no sympathy. The appeal was dismissed.
