Advocate Zahir Ulla Khan (Lawyer ) 13 December 2025
Hi,
Although You already studied your case properly but I want to clarify few things for your short note.
First, Normally Bar Council takes 30 to 60 days to initiate any proceeding. (May vary State to state)
2. Second, Bar Council will issue Show Cause Notice to concerned Advocate within 2-3 months
3. Inquiry and examining of evidences will start only after that (time span 3 to 6 months)
4. Order (within 1 year)
You may file RTI for status if you are not being updated on your complaint.
Supreme Court of India mandated timely disposal of such complaint/s.
After 1 year, if your complaint is not addressed then you can approach your concerned High Court. Suggest you to keep all the records in your hands.
Practically such complaints are resolved with in 6 to 8 months in most of the cases.

Hello Mr Zahir,
Thanks. BCi didn't seem to care. They replied to my rollowup email, asking me to pay 5k as "withdrawal fee" which is irrelevant for someone submitting petition. - Seems BCI would need a nudge - hence thought a writ certiorari (to render the improper closure by BCTNPY void ab initio) and writ mandamus (to transfer the complaint to Bci) would "force" them to take this seriously.
I wonder if I can get support in drafting the writs - there is efiling portal from where I can submit and appear as Pip - trying to see if I can avail drafting help frim anyone here
