AI generated

The Supreme Court quashed the disciplinary court's ruling against a lawyer for non-payment of membership fees. The lower court failed to specify the exact legal provision violated and did not hear the accused, while also citing contradictory ethical grounds. Consequently, the case was remanded for a new trial with corrected procedural and substantive errors.
