PREVILGES AND IMUNITIES TO LAWYERS

Arvind Singh Chauhan (Querist) 24 December 2009 This query is : Resolved
Sir Whether there are any immunities or privileges provided to Advocates in any Indian law or by apex court, keeping their status in society. If there is please refer.
I have heard during my studies that SC held, an Advocate should not be handcuffed by police if he is arrested on any complaint?

REGARDING HANDCUFFING KINDLY NOTE THAT

1.AS PER LATEST SC.JUDGEMENT NOWADAYS POLICE ARE DIRECTED NOT TO USE HANDCUFFS TO THE ACCUSED PRODUCED IN COURTS.
2.IT HAS CAUSED SOME GOOD RESULTS ON HUMAN RIGHTS FRONT BUT IT HAS SOME ADVERSE RESULTS ALSO THERE IS RISK OF ACCUSED RUNNING AWAY FROM THE CUSTODY OF POLICE.
3.ABOUT IMMUNITIES AND PRIVILEGES OF ADVOCATES YOU MAY REFER BAR COUNCIL.

IN CASE YOU NEED ANY FURTHER HELP KINDLY WRITE OR CALL
WITH BEST REGARDS TO YOU YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
THANKING YOU
YOURS SINCERELY

NO SUCH IMMUNITY IS GRANTED TO ADVOCATES, ADVOCATES ARE AS GOOD AS CITIZEN OF INDIA ONLY, IF ANY IMMUNITY FOR IGNORANCE OF LAW TO ORDINARY COMMON MAN IS AVAILABLE, BUT NOT FOR ADVOCATES.
