Hon’ble Supreme Court of India on Professional Misconduct.
“The test of what constitutes “grossly improper conduct in the discharge of professional duties” has been laid down in many cases. In the case of in re A Solicitor Ex parte the Law Society (1912) 1 KB 302, Darling, J. adopted the definition of “infamous conduct in a professional respect”, on the part of a medical man in Allinson v. General Council of Medical Eduction & Registration (1894) 1 QB 750, applied to professional misconduct on the part of Solicitor, and observed;
“If it is shown that a medical man, in the pursuit of his profession, has done some thing with regard to it which would be reasonably regarded as disgraceful or dishonourable by his professional brethren of good repute and competency, then it is open to the General Medical Council to say that he has been guilty of “infamous conduct in a professional respect”.
