Mumbai: The Bar Council of Maharashtra and Goa (BCMG) has suspended Pune-based advocate Asim Sarode, known for his close association with the Shiv Sena (UBT), for a period of three months after he was found guilty of misconduct.

Remarks Against Judiciary Spark Disciplinary Action

In its 19-page order, the BCMG stated, “We are satisfied that Advocate Sarode has committed misconduct by making certain disrespectful statements towards the judiciary. However, the records show that he has been engaged in legal practice for over two decades and has been involved in social awareness activities. In such circumstances, the Committee is of the opinion that while his conduct deserves condemnation, it would not be appropriate to impose the harsh penalty of permanent debarment.”
