Which section of the Advocates Act, 1961 gives a Bar Council's disciplinary committee specified powers of a civil court?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
"Section 42" of the Advocates Act, 1961 gives a disciplinary committee specified civil-court powers, including summoning witnesses, requiring documents, receiving affidavits and issuing commissions. Sections 35 and 36 separately govern disciplinary jurisdiction and punishment for misconduct, so "Section 36" is not the answer.
