The Disciplinary Committee of Bar Council of India has granted an interim stay on part of the impugned order of Bar Council of Delhi by which general advocates/ Bar Associations have been restrained from holding any religious functions/ programme/ activites in their chambers or in the premises of the Bar Associations.
The Committee stated that passing such restraining order is beyond the jurisdiction of any Bar Council, particularly when the issue is not there. The Bar Council of India Rules don't place any such prohibition on Advocates, it said.
The directions came in backdrop of a case concerning one Advocate who was accussed of performing 'religious conversion' and performing Nikah in his Chamber. The complaint was dismissed by Bar Council of Delhi, though the impugned general directions were issued as a control measure.
