New Delhi: The Bar Council of Delhi is scheduled to hear a complaint seeking disciplinary action against Delhi Law Minister Somnath Bharti on Monday. Bharti has been indicted by a court for "tampering of evidence" in a case in which he had appeared as a defence lawyer.
The move by Bharti came after BCD had decided to hear BJP's Delhi unit chief Vijay Goel's complaint seeking disciplinary action against the Aam Aadmi Party leader for "tampering of evidence".
The BCD will on Monday, also decide whether action needs to be taken against Bharti for his delay in surrendering the licence as the same was to be done the very moment he took up the full time job of Law Minister.
Goel has complained that in August, 2013, a special CBI court had held Bharti's conduct as highly objectionable and unethical, besides also amounting to tampering of evidence, after he, as a defence lawyer in a corruption case, contacted a prosecution witness and attempted to bring on record an audio-recording of a conversation before the court.
The court had made these observations while cancelling the bail granted earlier to Bharti's client, facing trial in a graft case relating to bank fraud.
