IT REFERS to the proceedings of Supreme Court wherein senior counsel KK Venugopal expressed that he would loose almost all his clients if he followed advice of Justice Markandey Katju for avoiding taking cases of persons guilty of charges like that of cheque-bouncing! Costs put by courts on parties are traditionally pocketed by advocates. Costs must be paid by Payees’ Account cheques/drafts in name of opposite party. Lawyer-client agreement about fees should be compulsorily put on the suit-file to avoid in-between blackmailing about fees, and stray incidents of obliging judges by taking free cases of their relations/friends. Misconduct of lawyers in capacity as local commissioners should attract punishment and cancellation of licence to practice. Such reforms though appearing against privileges enjoyed by lawyers will ultimately be beneficial for lawyers themselves to ease out competition by unending stream of youngsters joining legal profession as only remedy to earn livelihood!
In addition to this if a lawyer fails to prove the innocence of his/her clients his pracitcing license should be cancelled for five years. This will act as a check for the temptation to earn fly by night.
