The Gujarat High Court dismissed anticipatory bail to a law student accused of impersonating an advocate and misappropriating around Rs.80 lakh from multiple victims. The Court remarked, “It transpires that a noble profession of advocacy cannot be allowed to be tarnished.”
Justice Ajit Kumar of the Allahabad High Court ruled that lawyer strikes should not prevent litigants from accessing justice. The court directed the district administration to ensure police protection for litigants arguing their cases during such strikes. The dismissal of a writ petition emphasized that no lawyer can obstruct judicial duties or litigant access to courts.
