"2. Section 35(1) of the Advocates Act, 1961, reads: xxx In         ( 

    )* + this Court having examined the scheme and the provisions of the Advocates Act observed: (SCC pp. 709, 711 & 712, paras 24, 29 and 31.

It is apparent that a State Bar Council not only receives a complaint but is required to apply its mind to find out whether there is any reason to believe that any advocate has been guilty of professional or other misconduct. The Bar Council of a State acts on that reasoned belief....

...The Bar Council acts as the sentinel of professional code of conduct and is vitally interested in the rights and

 privileges of the advocates as well as the purity and dignity of the profession.

...the function of the Bar Council in entertaining complaints against advocates is when the Bar Council has reasonable belief that there is a prima facie case of misconduct that a disciplinary committee is entrusted with such inquiry..."
