- Respondent — remained advocate of the appellant in different suits — himself filed suit for specific performance — on basis of an agreement-to-sell — allegedly executed prior to the suits, instituted by the appellant — appellant filed suit for cancellation of alleged agreement-to-sell — declared as misconduct — upon issuance of show cause notice — advocate/respondent wisely withdrew the suit—exonerated from proceedings of professional misconduct, in circumstances — the respondent is an advocate and he has tendered unconditional apology . He has also very wisely opted for withdrawal of the suit and waived the claim of the right on the basis of the alleged agreement-to-sell obtained from him as client. This conduct is helpful to presume that all this happened without any mala-fide or ill will due to oversight of the required professional standards of conduct and etiquettes, hence, considering his bona-fide conduct to be sufficient ground for exonerating him from the proceedings of professional misconduct. Hence, no further proceedings in this regard are required. M. Bashir v. Muhammad Rasheed 2016 SCR 932 (E)
