The High Court of Delhi, has banned two Senior lawyers Mr. A.K.Anand and I.U.Khan
From appearing in Court for a period of four months for their involvement in the infamous BMW hit and run case.
The Delhi Bar Association has called for a strike of lawyers on 26th August, in protest against the “overstepping of the High Court of Bar Council of India’s jurisdiction”.
Interesting? Isn’t it?
The lawyers have been found to be influencing the key witness. This has been documented in the sting operation and it was there for every body to see except the members of the Bar Council’s upholders of law (is it an anachronism to say so?).You would have expected them to take action. Did they? No. They take umbrage under the fact that the charge has to be proved. Once the Court has delivered the judgment, you would have expected them to censure the lawyers at least.
No. They have no comments to offer. Instead, they cry foul that the judiciary has usurped their powers.
Well. You can not expect any thing better. They are the people who defend the corrupt politicians, killers, bandits and international criminals for a few pieces of silver, stating professional ethics that it is their professional duty to defend a client, though they know the ones whom they defend are criminals of the first order. Physician, heal thyself.
