Laws are meant to restrain citizens from committing crimes and harming other people without getting punished.
*Laws must apply equally to all citizens and discrimination of citizens in the eyes of law on any basis in not only unconstitutional but also inhuman in nature. Competitiveness comes by, first being disciplined, "Alert and Active" to things around, with an urge to excel by absorbing the relevant good, you see, hear and feel for the best and taking the right pathway, towards a pursuit to excellence. Media should be unbiased and should follow high standards of professional ethics and code of conduct, NOT as a mere messenger or to misguide the common people, to be carried away with wrong messages, but for correcting themselves of their inherent flaws in the system. Primarily, the advocate engaged should view the client’s interest but for colluding with the opposite advocate and betray with a wrong motive. Further, the jury in the honourable lower courts do object to our ‘expressing our grievances’ but for permitting the counsel alone to speak. If when asked, advocate replies that the clients keep coming and going but he has to remain with his advocate colleagues / mates, while in legal practice, in the courts. As a client I have felt that an advocate handles many clients for his survival, hardly observes 60% of the client’s grievances while handling many clients. When the judiciary is held esteem, the litigant be also allowed to express, if the Counsel has missed out some important salient points to the case. Can the Advocates in their professional life, not swear an oath, to be HONEST and work with INTEGRITY, in the Vakalatnama form, as a part of the Professional Code of Advocate’s Conduct and Ethics? More particularly, Lawyers in the profession have to attend to many clients for whom they are engaged, hence how much does the lawyer remember, from what is told and how much he absorbs of the total to the suffering litigant. Hence, the aggrieved client is given the opportunity to express his real grievances to instil fairness and justice in the court-hall. "Great acts are made up of small good deeds." "Refuse to bend" and stop promoting corrupt practices through short-cuts, the other person to indulge with others in unscrupulous practices. First let’s wake up and start demanding our rights. The business houses and the politicians are the beneficiaries and generally the middle class are the sheep. We have to tell them that we are paying them to protect us, not to kill us; It’s is our tax money from which they get paid and therefore demand them to be honest. A LAWYER is a noble profession only when advocates strive to secure justice for their clients within legally permissible limits. R.N. Sharma Advocate v. state of Haryana , 2003 (3) RCR (Cri) 166 (P&H). A CASE STUDY: Forcefully getting papers signed in court-hall. O.S.365/2004 Bangalore. During cross-examination, The respondents advocate questioned me as to whether my land is in my possession. I said I am here because the respondents have encroached and pulled out the fencing(erected stone-pillars, distance apart on the boundary line connected with barbed wires) and thereby erecting a katcha shed and black-mailing me. Reported to Civil and Police authorities, who chased the miscreants in the semi-finished state of the katcha shed. The land grabber’s advocate said arrogantly that the court needs an answer YES or NO from me, then said it is forceful possession by them. He then again said YES or NO and hence was constrained to say YES in their possession. It was in the late hours of the afternoon session, after the day’s proceedings the court bench clerk came to me to sign the papers when I said I do not know what was dictated and what the court steno has typed, when the court bench clerk insisted for my signature, otherwise forcefully, he then said your advocate can obtain the copy later and give me, but the judge is waiting. No time for me to read and sign the papers.Hence, signed the papers, later known that the case was dismissed because I said that the land is in their possession, when the registered documents are in my name and they have no papers to substantiate their ownership. Miscreants, who encroached, pulled out the fencing and erected a katcha shed in my land and occupied, were not punished for their wrongful act. Forceful signatures are obtained when one is weak and meek, scared of the contempt of court. proceedings.
