Attorney malpractice

(Querist) 24 January 2010 This query is : Resolved 
An applicant has filed a false case in DRT against defendant using false fabricated statement of accounts.
The applicant's attorney is aware that the case being filed is false using false document. yet he files and represents the case. The attorney has not cosigned the pleadings and the aplicant has not filed any affidavit along with pleadings.

Is the attorney responsible for any of these illegal actions and if yes under what law?

No. The attorney is not responsible while filing any document though it may be false rather the applicant in the given case shall be solely responsible. Advocate has got privilage under Advocates Act.
