This query is : Resolved
In case the defendant in a divorce case has filed a case with the petitioner's Advocate in the Bar Council for misconduct prior to the divorce case filed against the defendant, and would like the petitioner's Advocate to appear as a witness in the divorce case, then still can the petitioners Advocated appear on the petitioner's behalf and could the petitioner's Advocate refuse to appear as a witness in the divorce case.
Misconduct by the petitioner's Advocate was that he was previously handling all cases of the defendant and due to personal unethical practise the defendant had revoked the Advocates services and the Advocate finally filed the divorce case against the defendant on behalf of the petitioner who is the wife of the defendant.

No. It is unprofessional and unethical for him to do so.
