Bar Council of Kerala issues show-cause notice to newly enrolled lawyer
The Bar Council of Kerala (BCK) on Wednesday issued show-cause notice to a young lawyer who was enrolled four days ago, for circulating a short video on social media on his enrolment ceremony which shows an official vehicle of a High Court judge.
In the show-cause notice issued to Mohammed Fayiz from Chavakkad, Thrissur, the BCK secretary said that the video amounted to advertising and soliciting, and demeaning the dignity of the judiciary. The use of the video of the judge's vehicle is ill-motivated and malicious. The BCK is prima facie of the view that the act amounts to misconduct, and that he is liable to be proceeded against under Section 35 of the Advocates Act.
