If the client is admitting himself as criminal, it is the duty of the advocate, to take all the available defense and then to get a lesser punishment, in accordance with law.

duty of advocate is to fight for his client. it is for court to decide whether he is guilty or not .

2 ajay sethi Sir,If a lawyer' s duty is only to protect his client then how can he say himself a lawyer,as you know that court believe only on proof and sometime it happens that proof are not available then whether a lawyer should be silent in this matter.

Laws are made by human beings and if one set of people make any law than other set of people who come in power later make them wrong.
So it is the duty of the advocate only to see whether the client if legally wrong how he /she can be legally assisted to come out of his problems.
No human being what to say of an advocate- is not a final arbiter of what is wrong and what is right.

then why this law profession is running judge is also a human being as he also not have any right to state what is right or wrong and let it make more clear assume that client is having a guilty mind as per mens rea that is it the duty of lawyer to prove the truth in court?

Duty Bound:: Like Bhismapita maha.,
Defend your client is prime duty. Client come to you and pay your fees, engage you, to protect him.
Advocate can't work like Judge,.He can't punish or aquit client.
In this world, everybody have to play their role,
Drama goes on.
black and white makes picxture, single colour cannot.
It can be colourful, vibrant, attractive, due to diff colour, diff roles.
Just do your duty and ENJOY IT.
IT'S ALL DRAMA
IT'S HIS FATE..
You can't determine his fate, his punishment, his aquittal.
you can only perform your duty.
GITA:: DO YOUR DUTY, DO NOT THINK OF IT'S RESULT/ IT'S FRUIT..

Let me satisfy you-
1. Why doctor treats a terrorist injured in police encounter,should he let him die ? It is because of his professional ethic and duty.
2. Why police save a thief who is caught red handed and is being beaten by public. Police save him from public and arrest and give him first aid then produce before magistrate.?
3. Kasab accused of Mumbai bomb blast, why he was not killed after being arrested by police ?
4. Why judges follows the all legal formalities, and provides full opportunity of being saved to a well known criminal, and acquits him if prosecution failed to prove case.
Now think over !!!!!!!

If you are so particular dont contest the case issue him change of vakhalat.When the client approaches with full confidence with advocate it is professional ethics to protect him or say no to him from your side

Lawyers/advocates are governed by the body called BAR COUNCIL and it is council that decides laying rules to be observed as DOs and Do'nts.
