My Ld Friend,
para1:- That I am contesting the one suit in which I am a counsel of A,B,C filed a title suit against D,E,F of a property 'Y', and I am a counsel of (A,B,C who are petitioners) before C.J[S.D].
Para2:- That I also filed a new partition suit in which 'C' is a petitioner and I am the again counsel of 'C' only filed against 'B','A' of another property 'X' . Here I am the counsel of 'C' exclusive only before C.J[S.D].
Now my Question are:-
1. Can a single lawyer may contest both the above two suits without any conflict may arise by the local Bar Association Rules or under Advocate Act or moral ethics if any may arise.
2. That A and B are furious and engaged a another furious counsel 'K' of that local Bar who said to A and B that how a single counsel may contest above two suits in the same court. I acquainted from the mouth of furious parties 'A' and 'B' who are now jealous to me on the second suit in para 2.
Here 'B' and 'A' current counsel 'K' want to personal fight with me they(B,A) said.

There is clear conflict of interests. You cannot represent for a party in one case, and against in another case.

its a clear case of professional misconduct.
and being a lawyer use of word furious for another lawyer is also bad.

I agree with the opinion of Mr. Ramachandran. Even if you had been contesting the case of C against A&B in some different court your personal bias in favour of C cannot be overruled. Better leave one case and ask C to hire another lawyer.
