In a fake court fee scam, Advocate Ranjeeta Vengurlekar was suspended from legal practice for two years by the Bar Council of Maharashtra and Goa for fraudulently charging a client Rs.80,000 as court fees.
Today, On 21st October, the Supreme Court found Senior Advocate Rishi Malhotra made false statements in at least 15 cases, leading to concerns over Advocate-on-Record (AoR) guidelines. The Court appointed Dr. S. Muralidhar as Amicus Curiae and scheduled a hearing for November 11 to address these issues and reform oversight of AoRs.
