pratik (Querist) 16 June 2012 This query is : Resolved
As i was watching a telivision program on Sony TV Aadalat in i have seen that a prosecution take the defence lawyer evidence. in short can a prosecution can ask a defence lawyer to give evidence who case the defence is fighting the court.

Eg: A prosecution lawyer , b Accused & c is the lawyer of the accused can prosectuion A tell the judge to bring the C the lawyer in the evidence box & give the evidence or can court give the premission that a defence lawyer who is fighting the case as a defence can give the eveidence.

it is permissible to take the evidence of the defence lawyer if yes pls can anybody tell me the section as the advocate act, 1961 allow a lawyer to be a witness in the case of this client of which he/she is fighting the case.

Thanks

Advocates Act, Bar council rules prohibit an advocate from appearing in a case in which he may have to end up appearing as a witness, the judge can ask the lawyer to step down.
