The complainant/petitioner Chand Mehra complained of professional misconduct of three advocates, by stating that they initiated a litigation against him on a false basis without due diligence. The Bar Council of Delhi rejected his petition on 6 October 2023 and stated that no fault can be attributed to lawyers carrying out their clients wishes. Mehra tried to appeal the decision on 11 November 2024 but was refused by the Bar Council of India. Suspended both judgments, Mehra approached the High Court of Delhi, where his writ petitions were rejected on 15 April 2025 by a single judge. The court held that no misconduct was revealed in the allegations. Mehra appealed to a Division Bench of the Delhi High Court (Chief Justice D.K. Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela) who ordered the dismissal of his Letters Patent Appeal, 21 August 2025. It reasserted that advocates are not bound to determine the accuracy of client directions-that is the role of the adjudicating court. It would undermine the responsibility of the advocates to the clients by entertaining those kinds of complaints.
