Delhi High Court Records Bar Council of India’s Withdrawal of Press Release Against Law Firms

The Delhi High Court recorded the Bar Council of India’s (BCI) decision to withdraw its August 5 press release that had named Dentons Link Legal and CMS IndusLaw over alleged unauthorised collaborations with foreign law firms.

A Bench of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyay and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela noted that BCI will issue a fresh release. Meanwhile, the interim order restraining BCI from taking a final decision on the show cause notice to Dentons Link Legal will continue. 

The Court directed BCI to file its counter-affidavit within four weeks, with rejoinder due thereafter.
