Order Date: 24-09-2026
Case Overview
- Petition for Special Leave to Appeal (C) No. 32812/2026 filed by HAM AK Rural Development Foundation against The Bar Council of India & others, arising from the impugned judgment and order dated 29-07-2026 in IA(C) No. 3746/2025 in WP(C) No.3782/2022 of the Gauhati High Court.
- Hearing was conducted on 22-09-2026 before a bench comprising Hon'ble Chief Justice, Hon'ble Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Hon'ble Justice V. Mohana.
- Counsel for petitioner: Mr. Yash Prashant Sonavane, Adv.; Mr. Ravindra Keshavrao Adsure, Adv.; AOR Ms. Vishwabharati Vitthal Devkhile. No counsel listed for respondents.
- The petitioner sought relief against the High Court’s order; the Supreme Court examined whether a fresh IA could be filed in the disposed writ petition.
Final Outcome
- The Court held that the petitioner should have filed an appropriate writ petition before the High Court rather than a fresh IA in the disposed writ petition.
- The Special Leave Petition is therefore disposed, with liberty granted to the petitioner to file a proper writ petition before the Gauhati High Court, which the Court expects to consider on its merits.
- The SLP is disposed of with any pending applications, if any, also dismissed.
