Question on advocate ethics

@ Pradeep,

Whether you and your friend are sure about limitation for filing "quashing" petition as stated by you, inter alia,

"....After 6 months when my friend came to know about FIR quashing limitation he approached lawyer who simply said the time has expired...." ? 

If so, please enlighten me on the subject of limitation.

Thanking you in anticipation.
 

Dear  Dr J C Vashista ,

     After getting bail, counsel has to file for quashing of FIR in HC within 90 days or before Police file charge sheet in the case. However, my friend's lawyer kept quite for 5 long months, some other friend asked him why FIR has not been quashed, he went to lawyer and lawyer said that "now the time is expired we will apply CRL-P in high court".and quash the case, the quashing application was filed 22 months back, daily orders on website suggest that the lawyer has not moved memos in HC to further the case and quash it.. The case has been presided over by 4 judges so far and no relief yet. Lawyer is behaving arrogantly and indirectly suggesting to the file & avail service of some one else (through his junior lawyer) . Thanks, Pradeep. 

Both the parties can file a joint petition under Section 482 CrPC for FIR quashing. Thereafter, the Court will scrutinize the facts, circumstances and aspects of the matter before passing an order for quashing of FIR.

he facts posted too disjointed to suggest any definite opininion. Has the lawyer conveyed any false information about the filing of the case or of the subsequent steps hae had taken/initiiated? Be specific as to the facts as well the failure on his part to abide by the professional ethics.

Just because he could not get the FIR quashed within expected/promised timeframe does not costitute a deficit in professional ethics.
