Nothing can be done against lawyer and the punishments given that too in rare cases, and if any, by bar council are a sheer joke.
Public servants are liable to be prosecuted for exceeding the lawful powers ans misuse/abuse of the same. But lawyers are spared from misusing their stature and representing the guilty-client
But lawyers even though they knowingly and intentionally represent the client (rather become the mouth piece of the client who tells the lawyer to tell lies in court and fix a fictitious story in his case) and EVEN THOUGH the lawyer gets caught in doing so .................. nothing can be done.
There are cases wherein the lawyer also sliped his tongue and fergot he was supposed to be lying about in connivance with his client and exposed his client (on one hearing client says "client has lost his job and is ill since then and I was also ill and all were taking bed rest at there home in India!!!!" .. that too by filing medical certs....
after a few hearing same lawyers incidently recalls the previous occassion .........
and tells to court that "client had to Germany for official work to visit their bosses in head office as he got promotion in India! and we travelled together to Germany as I was also travelling over on a guided Tour package!!" (same period where client was supposed to be jobless!!)"
But the above incident had caused the other party to lose the contested case ................. and above incident the appellate court wasn't inclined to take cognizance seriously!!!!
Morals of the story: Every one has the fear of law but to prove this rule there has to be an exception
BCOZ
An exception proves the rule!!! .................... So legal profession is the best profession in India.
I find it very lucrative.
Only bar council are empoered to take action (the process never concludes) .......... Bar council does not move any action or at the max gives a reprimand but the the fact that is ignred is that the above mentioned acts had already caused the irreparable loss to victim i.e other party and his life already shattered and already lost energy in running from one forum to another.
