Today I saw heigh of fustration in mind of client due to Advocate. Just felt like sharing it and latter we should discuss the issue as Proffessional misconduct
Incident
Today in Court I was waiting for some order to be passed by Hon. Judge as my presentation was over and I was sitting outside reading legal books.
One man came and there was one Advocate. Since Person was white hair around 55 years old I felt he must be senior and making fun. But after some time I noticed some serious ness. That person was not advocate but client , he was agitated that experienced Advocate did not turn up to the Court whom he had given fees. After bit understanding from talks I could make out clearly Advocate did not take proper steps for 4 years and he may be misleading client . Client to my shock was threating to do Suicide. Initially I felt this person may be making fun but indeed he was bit serious , his face very aggitated and to my shock he crossed the barrier of the floor and was in dangerous situation that he may if even accidently fall will break his bone or may have fatal injury. Although it was first floor still you never know. Junior advocate where pacifing client that their senior advocate is coming . And that client was thereating I am going to end life today if main Advocate don't come. He was dangerously out of floor barrier or you can say he was on canopy of first floor .
Two Junior Advocate where cooling him , the drama started and I became very serious , immedately I went downstairs and informed police dept , to send some one in plain clothes because if that person really jumps there will be more problem. And that person is dam aggitated . Lady Cop told person in plain clothes to accompany me till the time we Cop reach bunch of Advocate had managed to bring that person out from canopy of first floor. And perhaps main Advocate of that client had reached and He was cooling him . Eventually as situation was under control Cop went having trust on Adv. and I was watching .
Reason is Advocate don't come to court on date and in time , don't take steps , keep on taking dates, when opp. party don't take step , adv. in his client interest not giving Pursis to Court. and dragging the case long. He was telling 4 years steps not taken .
Eventually Advocate promising his client he will be regular and indeed pacifying him. Client was very well dressed so I can make out he was good educated etc.
But what you feel about Client fustration about their advocate and their approach to them .
(If that person had jumped from floor certainly it would have created headline that person jumps from court building due to misconduct of Advocate , delay in court etc.)
