1956 (10) TMI 31 - SC - Indian LawsWhether Shri 'M' intimated Attar Singh about the withdrawal of the unspent balance of printing charges? Whether Shri 'M' intimated Attar Singh that any fee remained due and made any demand in that behalf? Whether Shri 'M' was justified in retaining the amount towards fees without lodging a bill for taxation against his client? Whether, for withdrawing the unspent balance from the Punjab High Court, Shri 'M' had the requisite authority? Whether on these facts Shri 'M' is guilty of professional misconduct? Held that:- Appeal dismissed. Shri 'M' is guilty of professional misconduct. We direct that he should be suspended from practice for a period of two years. The evidence shows that when in 1954 Attar Singh enquired of Shri 'M' he denied knowledge of the unspent balance and that when confronted with the letter received from the Punjab High Court he admitted receipt and demanded fees but evaded the situation without fairly and frankly facing it.
