Lawyer corruption

corruption starts at home... from legal system thats why we never eradicate...

so u say that 300 is not a corruption fr the lawyer to take...

the actual notray costs just 50 rs.. but he is taking 300

Mr. Hareesh  charging fee by notary did not come under curruption. He has right tocharge fee for natarising the any paper.Moreover he has to maintain registre and he should buy stamps by spending money. Charging Rs300 is not curruption.

K.V.S.S.PRABHAKAR RAO , ADVOCATE, RAJAHMUNDRY ( A.P )

Mr RGTigrani, advocate !  being a lawyer you must certainly be aware that  corruption is  corruption; be it  1 rupee , or  1 lakh rupees.   You cannot pretend  effectively  before a judge that  you have  looted   a  meagre small money  .  Judge shall not  leave you  unpunished on that accout.

If your  arguement  be correct ; then the corrupt  Kalmadi   was not to be jailed / chargsheeted because he  looted   only meagre ammount Rs. 200 crores, in comparision to the  biggest  looter Mr A.Raja  who  misappropriated  the national fund of Rs  176,000  crores.

So  you seems to be wrong obviously.

fess for notary are not fixed by any law.

so if the fees was not fixed the lawyer cant take how much they want is it..

What a petty shame ..

Then if u say that there was no fees fixed then in INDIA no one can survive k.

Each one doing their respective jobs can fix there own rates then y u bargain in markets, etc..Y cant a farmer can fix his own rates for his production. Just think it off.

there must be moral ethics.

And the same lawyer who charged me for notary for an ordinary date of birth certificate he is charging 80 rs. but for the purpose of birth certificate he is charging 300. Why that difference. hte govt appointed these lawyers for making notarys to the people not for the money what they get from that.

Agreed with my friend Kushan. But I must also say that charging Rs.300/- by Notarising is hard to swallow and reminds me of the memorable words of JF Kennedy " a poor man can be put behind bars for pilferring coal in the railway lines but a rich man can get away with th whole wagon with impunity".

For discussion its o.k..

Otherwise Notary first is an advocate then notarry,so can charge the fees from the client according to the case.

But the lawyer is charging his 300 for even the high r middle or poor class people also

Time has changed.

Inflation is high.

Can we stop increase in rate of petrol or milk which is essential commodity.

If you feel that you are really poor then talk to the respected notary,he may consider the fact and if he don't he might not be understanding humanity.

K then as a advocate how much u charge for a case.. So according to u eventhough its a wrong case with wrong judgement then also u wil do ur job in the court by charging more money. 

depending upon the case and merit thereof.

Actually lawyers stelling money from the public. I have gone through it. Lawyers will accept case initially for thw agreed fees. Once they get vakilatnama then they will start extracting money from the client. It is difficult to change lawyers because other lawyer need  no objection certificte from the previous lawyer. I am NRI and having few property related cases in Mumbai High Court. Lawyers are charging exagrated fees without giving any previous intimination. They do not give any receipt fro the money they received. They do not carry any trust account. and never ever gives any explanation for the service. Always demand money saying they want to give to the court staff or even Judges. This is very common.Filing complaint with Bar Association is very lenghty. I dont know how common man can get justice in India
