Kerala High Court Quashes Bar Council’s Disciplinary Notice Against KHCAA President Yeshwanth Shenoy

The Kerala High Court quashed the Bar Council of Kerala’s (BCK) disciplinary notice against KHCAA President Yeshwanth Shenoy, which was issued under Section 35 of the Advocates Act, 1961, over a courtroom exchange with a former judge.

Shenoy challenged the notice, alleging it was based on a judge's letter and unverified media reports, and that details of a contempt case were improperly leaked. 

The division bench found merit in his appeal and nullified the proceedings. However, a separate BCK disciplinary action against Shenoy related to a social media post remains pending before the Council.
