Senior Advocate flags concern before the Supreme Court, stating that judges attending advocates’ birthday parties sends a wrong message to the public and undermines judicial impartiality and public trust.
The Madras High Court Advocates’ Association condemned the Enforcement Directorate’s notice to Senior Advocate Arvind Datar as an attack on legal independence. The summons, regarding Datar’s professional legal opinion, faced nationwide backlash from legal associations. Although the ED later withdrew the notice, concerns about undermining attorney-client confidentiality persist among lawyers across India.
