Delhi High Court Restores Advocate's Name, Limits BCI's Removal Powers Over Caste Certificate
The Delhi High Court restored advocate Dipinder Kaur's name to the Bar Council of India (BCI) rolls after it was removed over allegations of submitting a fake caste certificate during enrolment. The court ruled that the BCI lacks unrestricted power to remove advocates solely based on disputed documents, emphasizing that fraud must materially affect enrolment. While reprimanding Kaur for furnishing a fabricated certificate, the court noted no actual advantage was gained. The decision came amid her contesting Bar Council of Delhi elections in 2026.
