India, Sept. 12 -- The Supreme Court's full court has decided not to strip senior advocate Rishi Malhotra of his gown despite a severe indictment of his professional conduct in a recent judgment, opting instead to let him off with a stern warning. The unanimous decision came after Malhotra tendered an unconditional apology in response to a show-cause notice issued to him in March. People familiar with the matter confirmed that the full court, convened last week by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Bhushan R Gavai, adopted a resolution to condone Malhotra while cautioning him that any repeat of such lapses could cost him his designation.
