The Supreme Court Today (Dec 2) asked Punjab farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who is on a fast-unto-death at the Khanauri border point to press for the acceptance of farmers’ demands, to persuade the protesting farmers not to obstruct highways and cause inconvenience to people. A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan disposed of a habeas corpus petition filed on behalf of Dallewal, who was removed from the Khanauri protest site on the Punjab-Haryana border on November 26.
Justice Vaidyanathan of the Madras High Court warns Bar Council against the rise of “fake lawyers” and urges the legal community to uphold integrity and dignity in the profession. He emphasizes the need for honest and ethical leaders in bar associations and advocates for prioritizing mediation in legal disputes. His plea serves as a call to action for the legal community to uphold the highest ethical standards and combat the menace of fake lawyers.
