Landmark Judgment, in regards with the duty of an Advocate.
“The Counsel has time and again to choose between his duty to his client and his duty to the Court. This is a conflict often difficult to resolve; and he should not be under pressure to decide it wrongly. Whereas, when the Advocate puts his first duty to the Court, he has nothing to fear. But it is a mistake to suppose that he (Advocate) is the mouth piece of his client to say what he wants. The Code which obligates the Advocate to disregard the instructions of his client, if they conflict with his duty to the Court, is not a code of law – It is a code of honour. If he breaks it, he is offending against the rules of the profession and is subject to its discipline.”
