The Disciplinary Committee of Gujarat Bar Council of India (BCI) could not complete its proceedings within a year as mandated under the provision of the Advocacy Act, 1961, as a consequence of which disciplinary proceeding had been transferred to the Bar Council of India. However, the BCI’s Disciplinary Committee got back the case to the State Bar Council with a direction to dispose of the matter within a stipulated period of time.

It was held that when a disciplinary proceeding before a State Bar Council gets transferred to Bar Council of India (BCI) under the provision of the Advocates Act, 1961, the BCI cannot send it back to the State Bar Council with a direction to decide it within a stipulated time. - [2017] 80 taxmann.com 54 (SC)
