SC Strikes Down IBA Caution List for Lawyers: Only Bar Council Can Take Disciplinary Action
3 Key Takeaways:
• No Blacklisting by Banks: IBA/RBI Caution List is only for fraudulent borrowers, not negligent lawyers. Banks can't publicly brand an advocate as "incompetent".
• Bar Council Has Exclusive Power: Disciplinary action against advocates for professional misconduct lies solely with Bar Council of India & State Bar Councils under the Advocates Act.
• SC Orders Reforms: BCI directed to set up a National Legal Academy and do a performance audit of its disciplinary system to ensure transparency and accountability.
