This writ petition has been filed for quashing the order dated<br \/>\n                16.4.2010 (Annexure 8) passed in the disciplinary case being D.C. No. 01 of<br \/>\n                2010 by the Disciplinary Committee No. 11 and for consequential reliefs.\n<\/p>\n<p>                2.    Referring to the order dated 10.5.2007 passed in Criminal appeal No.<br \/>\n                426 of 2006, Mr. Rajeev Kumar, Advocate appearing in person, submitted<br \/>\n                that the Chairman of the Committee is not competent to proceed with the<br \/>\n                disciplinary proceedings. He further submitted that Disciplinary Committee<br \/>\n                No. 11 has not been constituted in terms of Rule 8 (i).\n<\/p>\n<p>                3.    The objections raised in this writ petition were raised by the petitioner<br \/>\n                before the Committee which has been rejected by the impugned order<br \/>\n                dated 16.4.2010.\n<\/p>\n<p>                4.    Mr. Rajeev Kumar could not show that after the said order dated<br \/>\n                10.5.2007 was passed, any action was taken against the Chairman of the<br \/>\n                Disciplinary Committee No. 11. A general statement has been made that he<br \/>\n                is on inimical terms with the petitioner since 1997. Further, there is nothing<br \/>\n                against two other members of the Committee.\n<\/p>\n<p>                5.    It also appears from the impugned order that in a General body<br \/>\n                meeting, the Jharkhand State Bar Counsel (for short &#8220;J.S.B.C.&#8221;) resolved and<br \/>\n                empowered the Chairman, J.S.B.C. to constitute the Committee and,<br \/>\n                accordingly, the present disciplinary committee has been constituted,<br \/>\n                which is proceeding with the case against the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>                6.    Then there is provision of appeal available to the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>                7.    In the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to<br \/>\n                interfere with the disciplinary proceedings. Accordingly, this writ petition is<br \/>\n                dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                          (R. K.
