JUDGMENT :

G.S. Patel, J.

1. Rule, returnable forthwith. There is an Affidavit in Reply of the 2nd Respondent filed on record.

2. This is a most unfortunate case. The Petitioner is an advocate of this Court. She has been in practice since about 1985. She has worked on the Appellate Side of this Court as an Assistant Government Pleader for several years and then as an Assistant Government Pleader and an Additional Government Pleader on the Original Side. The 1st Respondent is the Bar Council of Maharashtra and Goa (“BCMG”). The 2nd Respondent is an individual involved in a litigation that began in the High Court and was then transferred to the City Civil Court. The 3rd Respondent, added by amendment, is the Bar Council of India.

3. There is a long and convoluted history to the matter. Prayer (a) of the Petition at page 18 reads thus:
