Proffessional Resposibility of Lawyers

This query is : Resolved
I had appeared in person in an original petition ,an EP petition on it and later on an appeal against EP order in a consumer forum. The respondents had taken counseling with three different advocates in these cases. On their advice the opponents had filed affidavits contradicting one another. The forums’ order in original petition went in my favor but subsequent petitions the forums felt relief to me can not be given as my prayer were beyond the verdict given in OP. This was mainly due to conflicting statements made. My question is how far the councilors are responsible for making different statements

Counsels in person are not responsible to make conflicting statements but the parties they represent do suffer from those statements.

Dear Mr.Thyagarajan,
Counsels give legal advice and it is up to the litigants to govern themselves accordingly.
Best Regards
