Re: [IAC#RG] ADVOCATES MUST BE ON CALL 24X7

Dear Rodrigues

You are not the only advocate on this forum, and I once again caution you to stop misusing our shared resource for unethical self promotion.

I wonder how you can clam to be an advocate allowed to practice in India, when you labor under the wrong notion that, in India, "advocates are officers of the Court".

Since you also claim to be an officer of the High Court, would you kindly circulate a copy of your appointment orders detailing your salaries and allowances etc. issued under Article 229 of the Constitution of India which is reproduced below for your ready reference

Article 229 in The Constitution Of India 1949

229. Officers and servants and the expenses of High Courts

(1) Appointments of officers and servants of a High Court shall be made by the Chief Justice of the Court or such other Judge or officer of the Court as he may direct: Provided that the Governor of the State may by rule require that in such cases as may be specified in the rule no person not already attached to the Court shall be appointed to any office connected with the Court save after consultation with the State Public Service Commission

(2) Subject to the provisions of any law made by the Legislature of the State, the conditions of service of officers and servants of a High Court shall be such as may be prescribed by rules made by the Chief Justice of the Court or by some other Judge or officer of the Court authorised by the Chief Justice to make rules for the purpose: Provided that the rules made under this clause shall, so far as they relate to salaries, allowances, leave or pensions, require the approval of the Governor of the State

(3) The administrative expenses of a High Court, including all salaries, allowacnes and pensions payable to or in respect of the officers and servants of the court, shall be charged upon the Consolidated Fund of the State, and any fees or other moneys taken by the Court shall form part of that Fund

NB: We sympathise that thousands of advocates like yourself are on the verge of starvation due to lockdown, but you must be aware that this is in the national interest. Remember and emulate Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Ashfaqullah Khan etc. instead of Ambedkar.  In any event your tiny state of Goa hardly seems to be much affected with all the liquor shops and feni bars working 24x7 to sanitise the innards of certain Portuguese (dual) citizens who reside there.

Advocates as officers of the Court have to remain available for the public round the clock to render our services in case of any legal emergency that anyone may encounter.

We owe it to this noble profession to provide legal assistance that anyone may require at any time of the day for any legal problem that they may face. 

Advocates to secure their client's rights have to attend Police Stations and also move and attend Courts besides approaching various quasi-judicial authorities.

In the current pandemic, we as Advocates must not fret away from our bounden duty but strictly observe Social distancing and all other safety protocols while dealing with our clients and when we appear before the Police Stations, Courts and other authorities to defend the legal rights of our clients.
