In a recent development, the Bar Council of Delhi ruled that there is no conflict of interest concerning senior advocate Mehmood Pracha's representation in the Delhi riots case. This decision follows concerns raised about Pracha's involvement given his prior association with a client whose case is interlinked with the riots case. The Bar Council's assessment concluded that Pracha's professional conduct and ethical standards are in line with the Bar Council's regulations, and no substantial conflict was found that would warrant disqualification. This ruling reaffirms Pracha's position as a legitimate representative in the ongoing legal proceedings related to the riots.
