Orissa HC asks Bar Council to probe case against lawyer taking money from client to bribe judge

New Indian Express  

CUTTACK: The Orissa High Court refused to quash the FIR against a lawyer who allegedly took money from his client to bribe the judge who was hearing his case. While dismissing the petition recently, the single judge bench of Justice Sibo Sankar Mishra directed the Bar Council to hold disciplinary proceedings uninfluenced by any observations made by the court and by affording ample opportunity to all concerned to participate in the proceedings. Justice Mishra also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on the petitioner's lawyer and directed him to deposit the amount before the District Legal Services Authority, Cuttack, within two weeks. “The facts of the present case, as alleged, would show that the petitioner has insinuated and attributed wrongdoing to a former judge of this court,” Justice Mishra said, adding, the Bar Councils under the Advocates Act have been entrusted with the duty of guarding the professional ethics.
