Under section 48A of the Advocates Act, 1961, the Bar Council of India may call for the record of a proceeding disposed of by a State Bar Council or its committee to satisfy itself about the legality or propriety of the disposal. To which proceedings does this power of revision apply?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Section 48A(1) confines the power of revision to proceedings disposed of by a State Bar Council or its committee and "from which no appeal lies"; where an appeal lies, the party must use it. Under Section 48A(2), no order prejudicially affecting a person may be passed without a reasonable opportunity of being heard. The one-year limit belongs to Section 36B, which deals with delayed disciplinary cases.
