Thank you Mr. Parekh for clarifying that you are the President of the Supreme Court Bar Association and NOT of Bar Council of India.
From your position, I suppose you can do a lot to improve the functioning of the Bar Council of India, which is almost dead and also Supreme Court of India, which is becoming Sorry Court of India with more and more arbitrary decisions.
Veteran journalist Amar Ranu wrote to me replying to "SORRY STATE OF AFFAIRS AT THE BAR COUNCIL" as under : "All Bar Councils whether State or Bar Council of India are protection rackets for shielding unethical advocates.
If you are expecting justice from such protection rackets, then you must be wasting precious time, energy and money".
The fact that you have changed the subject line from SORRY STATE OF AFFAIRS AT THE BAR COUNCIL to Reply (reply to what?) and deleted the complaint against Bar Council of India and corrupt Advocate KKV Kurup, it proves what Amar Ranu saying is absolutely correct. Likewise, you have not offered the information as to who is the President of Bar Council of India, what is his email address, etc. proves that you are not very keen in helping to set right things. Sorry state of affairs indeed.
Best wishes

Dear Dr. Leo
I received your e-mail dated 14th October 2007.
I am not President of Bar Council of India.
I am the President of Supreme Court Bar Association.
Hence I will not be able to give you any details
of the proceeding before Bar Council of India.
With best regards,
P H Parekh

DEAR ADV. PAREKH :
I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT OF THE BAR COUNCIL OF INDIA OR PRESIDENT OF SUPREME COURT BAR ASSOCIATION.
FROM ANY OF THESE TWO RESPONSIBLE POSITIONS, WE BELIEVE YOU DO SOMETHING TO MAKE BAR COUNCIL OF INDIA WORK, OR WIND UP.
BEST WISHES
DR. LEO REBELLO
Adv. Kurup did not attend in two cases against him and he was fined Rs.1000 and Rs.500 respectively. But till today, neither the minutes of 20th May 2006 nor the fine amount has been received. Nor another date has been fixed to hear this important case. This goes to show how
the Bar Council of India, a professional organisations of black coatwallas works. Same is the situation in the Medical Council of India. They too do not take prompt action against their colleagues. The important question then is should these organisations be wound up or not.

BCI Tr Case no.113/2004
Mrs. Agnes Patole
v/s
Adv. KKV Kurup
Dear Sir :
This is a complaint against the functioning of the Disciplinary Committee of the Bar Council of India.
In this regard please see my email 10th December, hard copy posted by Regd AD (vide RLAD A-3147) on 13/12/06, AD slip has not been received till date. I have complained in the said letter that the Copy of the Order passed by the BCI against corrupt Advocate KKV Kurup on 20th May 2006 has NOT been received nor the fine imposed on him recovered.
This morning I received a letter by Registered Post, marked DCLD no.5090 notifying Mrs. Agnes Patole (the undersigned is representing her) that the above case has been posted on 27th January 2007 for framing of issues and charges, and for further proceedings.
May it be noted that Issues (in the above case) were framed by the State Bar Council of Maharashtra and Goa on 10.07.2003, copy of which was sent to us in May 2006 (after 3 years) after our reminders to that effect.
These incidences go to prove that the functioning of the Bar Council of India itself is not proper.
Mrs. Agnes Patole, the Complainant, a known cancer patient, who was thrown out of her apartment, due to the serious lapses/deliberate mischief/deficiency in service on the part the Respondent Advocate KKV Kurup, is sinking in Health. Recently she was operated for the 6th time. If she dies before the decision comes in this case, it will once again prove old adage "Justice delayed, justice denied", because of BCI's inefficient functioning.
Gentlemen, you need to gear up in 2007.
Dr. Leo Rebello
