The Delhi High Court expressed sharp disapproval over lawyers repeatedly seeking adjournments, stressing that such delays unfairly burden litigants. “Blissfully ignorant, it’s the litigant who suffers,” the Court remarked while criticising advocates for disrupting the judicial process.
The Delhi High Court has reaffirmed that advocates cannot be forced to reveal the source of documents filed for their clients, as it violates the attorney-client privilege under Section 126 of the Indian Evidence Act. The ruling strengthens professional confidentiality and protects independent legal representation.
