BCI Chairman Issues Statement Justifying Stand Against Dushyant Dave [Read Statement]
In an appeal to the legal fraternity, Chairman of the Bar Council of India Mr. Manan Kumar Mishra has sought “moral support of the entire legal fraternity” to thwart attempts to “scandalize the Institution”. The press release by the BCI to the media is bizarrely worded, belying a knee-jerk response in a manner not behoving well for a body claiming to be representing advocates.” Justifying remarks against Dushyant Dave The release takes a jibe at Mr. Dave for his remarks against CJI Dipak Misra and states, “Raising a finger against anybody’s integrity is very easy. This has to be kept in mind.” Solidarity with those demanding transparency The release clarifies BCI’s unanimous view on the following issues: “ Bar should be bold and fearless, and whenever Bar Council of India has felt that the Judiciary is going against the interest of the Bar without any rhyme or reason, we have raised our voice, but in a decent manner befitting to our status as the officers of the Court. Within one month of their elevation/Appointments, the Judges should be transferred to some other State and no Judge should be allowed to remain a judge in his home State, in the interest of fair-play and justice.” Delay in election/position of Bar Council of India The release goes on to address the concerns raised by several lawyers over the delay in elections of the State Bar Councils.
