      Question

      Under Section 21B(3), the Disciplinary Committee,

      dealing with Second Schedule misconduct, may take which of the following actions against a guilty member?
      A Only issue a private warning Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Reprimand the member, remove his name permanently or for such period as it thinks fit, or impose a fine up to rupees five lakhs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Only impose a fine up to rupees one lakh Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Order imprisonment of up to six months Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Refer the member directly to the High Court for sentencing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Section 21B(3) provides that where the Disciplinary Committee finds a member guilty of misconduct under the Second Schedule (or both Schedules), it shall give him an opportunity of being heard and may then reprimand the member, remove his name from the Register permanently or for such period as it thinks fit, or impose a fine which may extend to rupees five lakhs. The Committee does not itself order imprisonment or refer members to the High Court for sentencing. Hence the correct option correctly states its powers, including the five-lakh fine ceiling.
