Advocate misconduct

My friend was arrested in April2019 on IPC 341, 502,505 he got bail through a senior counsel

My friend has no knowledge of law, the senior counsel assured best possible solution to the issue

1363 days have passed, the senior counsel has not quashed FIR, has filed quashing of CC in HC in Dec2020

2 years have passed in HC, no quashing has happened, counsel has taken Rs.1 lakh as fees, my friend is jobless and has sold property to meet the legal expenditure.

Senior counsel is advising my friend to compromise with complainant (accept mistake) and give up the case.(no compensation)

Does this constitute misconduct because similar cases have an avg. life of 2 months at HC, but since April2019 this lawyer has not got justice.

Please HELP.

Thanks in advance

the first mistake your friend has done is engaging senior council instead he would have engage some competent and junior advocate who would have time to defend your friends case. it is very difficult to prove the allegation which you are making couple with protection given to advocates under advocate act. please first change your advocate and then file a written complaint against the council in bar council of particular state
