Impression Created That State Lawyers Have Collectively 'Turned Against Court': Allahabad HC Asks Principal Law Secretary To Appear
Live LawThe Allahabad High Court on Thursday has directed the Principal Secretary / L.R. In the previous hearing the Court had noted that the Private Secretary had made changes to the affidavit filed by the Government Advocate on behalf of the Superintendent of Police. When the application was heard yesterday, 4 Additional Advocate, 2 Chief Standing Counsels along with all other State panel lawyers were present in court “to defend” the Government Advocate. On Thursday, it observed that though the AAG had tendered an apology for Government Advocate's conduct on an earlier occasion, and the Court had indicated that the matter should not be unnecessarily exaggerated as it was a minor issue, it however was displeased with the conduct of the Government advocate which it said was attempting to justify the actions of his private secretary. The Court on Thursday noted that though the State panel lawyers were present again to apologise, one of the Chief Standing Counsels took the lead in naming State panel lawyers present before the Court.
