The Delhi High Court held that an advocate has no vested right to retain a chamber allotted during association with another lawyer. Upholding CAC’s decision, it ruled the petitioner was only a permissive user without entitlement in absence of governing rules.
The Supreme Court, led by Justice Surya Kant, warned against irregularities in bar elections, particularly in Karnal, after the Punjab and Haryana High Court quashed the Bar Council of India’s order allowing Advocate Sandeep Chaudhry to contest upcoming elections amid pending misconduct inquiries against him. The court emphasized accountability and oversight.
