As per case facts, complainants facing a death sentence were approached by the appellant, an advocate, who obtained their signatures and thumb impressions on documents to file an appeal. The ... appellant later allegedly used a power of attorney, obtained through misrepresentation, to sell the complainants' land and appropriate the proceeds as fees, claiming it was authorized for his services. The complainants denied this, leading to a professional misconduct complaint. The question arose whether the advocate committed grave professional misconduct by soliciting the brief, misrepresenting facts to obtain a power of attorney, fraudulently selling clients' land, and misappropriating the funds for his fees. Finally, the Supreme Court affirmed the findings that the appellant was guilty of grave professional misconduct. The Court found that the appellant solicited the brief, obtained a power of attorney through misrepresentation, fraudulently sold the clients' land, and appropriated the sale proceeds for his gain. Emphasizing the sacred trust between advocate and client, the Court dismissed the appeal, permanently debarring the advocate and imposing costs.
