The Supreme Court is likely to hear the petitions filed by R K Anand and I U Khan against the Delhi High Court's order banning them for practicing for four months. A two judge bench headed by Justice B N Agrawal would be hearing as petitions of both the advocates are listed on Monday.
R K Anand in his 900 page petition has questioned the Delhi High Court's authority to ban them practice as banning of the advocates from practice comes under the exclusive domain of the Bar Council of India. Anand has also questioned the Delhi High Court's order on account or biasness.
The Delhi High Court on August 20th found both the advocates guilty of contempt of court as their acts amounted to obstuction of administration of justice. A division bench of Delhi High Court comprising Manmohan Sarin and Madan B Lokur had not only debarred these advocates from practicing but also imposed a fine of Rs. 2000 each for their irresponsible behaviour. The bench had also recommended to the Delhi High Court that both the advocates should be stripped of their designation of Senior Advocates.
Anand, the defence counsel and Khan, the prosecutor, were shown as colluding with the witness in a sting operation last year. The court on May 31 last year had taken suo motu cognisance of the sting operation showing Anand, in collusion with Khan, allegedly offering money to Kulkarni to depose in favour of Sanjeev Nanda, the prime accused in the hit-and-run case.
