# Meghalaya bar bodies expel Advocate General; SCBA seeks withdrawal 2026-08-14T02:15:29+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) has urged the Meghalaya High Court Bar Association and the Shillong Bar Association to withdraw their joint resolution expelling Advocate General Amit Kumar. The SCBA said the resolution was unwarranted since the issue of safety for women advocates was already before the Meghalaya High Court. The expulsion followed Kumar's submission on August 3 that bar associations lacked a proper mechanism under the POSH Act to handle sexual harassment complaints. The bar associations took exception, alleging his remarks targeted them. Kumar later clarified his submissions aimed only to highlight institutional gaps and refused to disclose complainants' names without their consent. ## Coverage - livelaw.in - barandbench.com Tags: Advocate General, bar association, Meghalaya, POSH Act, sexual harassment Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/advocate-general-expelled-by-meghalaya-bar-over-posh-remarks/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
