In order to ascertain whether the above rules have been complied with the Court may require any Advocate to produce before the Prothonotary and Senior Master his books of account, bank pass-book, statements of account, vouchers and any other necessary documents for inspection. On a report from the Prothonotary and Senior Master, if after hearing the Advocate, the Court is of the opinion that the name of such Advocate be removed from the Register permanently or for some period, it may direct accordingly and may further direct the Prothonotary and Senior Master to report the name of the Advocate to the Bar Council for necessary action.
Question: If the advocate thinks it is not the right or proper order passed by the judge then where to appeal. In the above matter. Also what is the qualification for Prothonotary and Senior Master? The difference between Prothonotary and Senior Master. Who has the right to appoint & remove Prothonotary and Senior Master for the post.
Bombay High Court Rules OS
Rule 22 - 22. Advocate not to appear and plead for parties on both sides :- No advocate shall appear and plead for parties on both sides of the record in a suit or matter even if the interest of such parties be the same.
Question: So if the advocate appear in OS than he/she cannot appear at AS (appellate side) & vice – versa. Opinion required. Where it is applicable to the BHC (Bombay High Court) only or it is applicable to very HC. There OS means both in criminal as well as civil cases. Right?
Thanks
