Bar Council of India Removes 107 Fake Advocates from  Delhi Roll to Uphold Legal Integrity The Bar Council of India (BCI) has taken decisive action in a sweeping initiative aimed at maintaining the integrity of the legal profession by removing 107 fake advocates  from the Roll of Advocates in Delhi  between 2019 and October 2024. This step comes as part of the BCI's rigorous verification process to ensure that only qualified, genuinely practising advocates remain in the profession, ultimately upholding public trust in the legal system. Strengthened Verification Framework Under Rule 32 This effort falls under Rule 32 of the Bar Council of India Certificate and Place of Practice (Verification) Rules, 2015 . The BCI  amended Rule 32 on June 23, 2023 , which empowered the BCI to verify, identify, and systematically remove unqualified and fake advocates from the Roll. The rule amendment has made the process of weeding out non-compliant individuals significantly more efficient. Accordi

Panel Recommends Action Against JJB Members for Lapses in Granting Bail in Pune Car Crash Case

Panel Recommends Action Against JJB Members for 

Lapses in Granting Bail in Pune Car Crash Case



A panel from the Women and Child Development (WCD) Department of the Maharashtra government has recommended disciplinary action against two Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) members for "procedural lapses" in granting bail to the minor accused in the Pune Porsche crash case. 


Investigation and Findings


Prashant Narnaware, the Women and Child Development Commissioner, confirmed that the final report has been submitted to the Maharashtra government. The report, resulting from a thorough investigation and responses to show cause notices given to the JJB members, recommends disciplinary action against the two state-appointed JJB members for their procedural mishandling.


Details of the Incident


The case stems from a tragic incident on May 19, when a Porsche car, allegedly driven by a minor in an inebriated condition, struck and killed two IT professionals in Pune's Kalyani Nagar area. The lenient bail conditions granted to the minor, including writing a 300-word essay on road safety, caused a nationwide uproar. This prompted the WCD Department to form a panel to investigate the conduct of the JJB members in granting bail to the minor.


Bail Conditions and Court Rulings


As part of his bail conditions, the minor was required to write an essay on road safety, emphasizing responsible driving and the repercussions of reckless behavior. Earlier this month, the 17-year-old accused submitted the essay as part of his bail conditions. He was released from an observation home last month after the Bombay High Court ruled that his remand orders were illegal.


Police and Legal Actions


Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar assured on June 26 that legal action would be taken against all the accused involved in the Pune car accident. "As far as the case is concerned, the investigation is being done as per the evidence which is received. We will ensure that legal action is taken against all," Kumar stated.


On June 21, the Pune district court granted bail to Vishal Agarwal, the father of the accused teenager, in the primary case where he was booked under Section 75 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015.


Conclusion


The panel's recommendation for disciplinary action highlights the importance of procedural integrity in the judicial process, especially in cases involving minors and serious offenses. The Pune Porsche crash case has underscored the need for stringent and transparent legal proceedings to ensure justice and maintain public trust.
