In Pandurang Dattatraya Khandekar v. Bar Council of Maharashtra (1983), what distinction did the Supreme Court draw when it set aside a finding of professional misconduct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C

Mere negligence unaccompanied by moral delinquency does not amount to professional misconduct. Charges of misconduct must be clearly proved and not inferred from suspicion or error of judgment.
