He allegedly used court chamber for forced conversion and performing nikah
The Bar Council of Delhi (BCD) on Monday temporarily suspended a lawyer’s licence of a lawyer, Iqbal Malik, for allegedly forcibly converting a Hindu girl to Islam and performing nikah from his chamber at Karkardooma Court here. The council said, “The alleged activities are not permissible nor are part of the professional activities of an advocate and his conduct in performing a nikah and issuance of certificate of conversion and Nikahnama/ Marriage certificate is disgraceful and negates the dignity of the legal profession”. The lawyers’ body stated that the activities of performing the nikah in the chamber or court premises cannot be permitted by an advocate or any other person.More Related News
