Anurag Mohindru, a UK-based lawyer of Indian origin, has been disbarred after an independent tribunal found him guilty of professional misconduct. The ruling followed charges by the Bar Standards Board that he had falsely claimed to have studied medicine at the University of Oxford, misleading the legal profession.
The tribunal determined that Mohindru's behavior significantly breached the standards expected of barristers, resulting in a decision for his immediate disbarment. Additionally, he has been ordered to pay legal costs amounting to 54,780 pounds. The incident has led to Mohindru's resignation as chairman of Essex County Cricket Club.
Despite holding the title of King's Council and having a reputation for representing high-profile cases, Mohindru's actions have been deemed damaging to public trust in the legal profession. His suspension is subject to appeal, but the impact of the tribunal's findings on his career remains significant.
