Only God Can Save These Types Of Lawyers: Kerala High Court After Advocate Argues Against Interest Of His Client
Case: Dhanya & Anr v. State of Kerala & Ors.
Coram: Justice P.V. Kunhikrishnan
Case No.: WP(C) NO. 22937 OF 2021
Court Observation: “The duty of the lawyer is to take care of the interest of his client and to tell him the exact laws and provisions of the particular case and what are the remedies. He should not hurt the interest of his client by any of his acts and omissions… Even after this Court repeatedly alerted the lawyer that he is arguing against the interest of his client, the lawyer stick to his argument. Only God can save these types of lawyers. I leave it there.”
“First of all, there is no such case to the Municipality or to the petitioner. Moreover, the Government submitted a report before this Court in which it is stated that for conducting a Gymnasium, the licence is necessary as per The Kerala Places of Public Resort Act, 1963. The Municipality is bound by the directions issued by the Government. Section 58 of The Kerala Municipality Act 1994 deals with the power of the Government to issue directions to Municipality. In such circumstances, according to me, the contention of the Counsel for the Municipality, which has no backing of his own client’s contention need not be considered.”
